Question: what is the difference between m14 and mini 14?
Answer: Actually M14 was used as good sniping rifle for long time. It is definitely more efficient on longer range than Ruger Mini 14, which is using much lighter ammo (5,56/. 223 Rem). On the other hand M14 is much heavier than Ruger Mini 14 and dissasemble and cleaning is bit more complicated.
