I have owned at least 3 Mini 14s (first one was back in the late 80s) and one Mini 30.
I have also owned at least 7-8 ARs, most in 5.56. but two in .300BO and two in x39.
I currently own (or did until the last election and subsequent tragic boating accident...sorry...) one Mini-14, one Mini-30, and one each AR in all three chamberings.
Yes, I enjoy them all and see no reason to sell any of them. They are two entirely different platforms and are both very enjoyable.
In fairness, the two Minis I own now were bought in 1992 and 2000 respectively, and I paid $475 for the former and $525 for the latter.
Would I pay the going rate for a new one, and should the OP? Maybe yes, maybe no, in both cases.
His money, his choice.
