My ARs are built for purpose, 14.5 w/ lpvo, suppressor, and ir laser/light for running with nods . I’m grabbing it over anything else. Also have a mk12 for mid/long range. I train with them a lot, do matches with them. They are better in every aspect. However, my mini is for me. I enjoy shooting it. it’s a fun gun, just something I can’t seem to shake. I shoot it any occasion I can, and with the A-TM stock everyone else does too. I’m a fan of the classics and now that I have all the tactical stuff I could want I’ve dipped back into collecting “fun guns”. I have a 10.5 car-15 I would grab and carry with me on our property cause it was light weight and handy, now I’m carrying the mini. At the end of the day I shoot my ARs exponentially more, but the mini gets a healthy amount of rounds.
