I'm looking to buy a (high-end) piston based AR15 or a custom Ruger Mini-14 for my 5.56 needs. I'm not a fan of the AR15 in general, but a piston based one would be palatable. Ease of cleaning and maintenance is #1 for me. Accuracy and overall platform is second.
The second main reason is the straight back stock of an AR15 doesn't fit me well. I have a long neck and this is a known problem, but there are ways around that.
My choices would be a PWS MK116 or a Mini-14 customized by Accuracy Systems. For a level playing field, I would choose the sub 1.5" MOA to get the barrel down to 16.5". I'd choose the .750" barrel.
Any opinions on these two choices?
