ITT Guns you have never seen function properly in your life
Literally every experience I have had with the mini 14 has been a shit show
Mine worked fine. Accuracy was meh, but no mechanical issues.
It's partially because people can't resist the temptation to buy shitty 40rd National brand magazines at gun shows for cheap. Part of it is a series of design variations between the old and new models.

I never had a single malfunction with my Mini14, literally the most reliable gun I've ever owned.

I've never had any problems with my Mini-14. Though I exclusively use Ruger magazines.
I bought my mini14 brand new in 2006, it did have some FTE/FTF issues at first, depending on the ammo I was using (it hated brown bear). I ended up just smoothing the ejection ramp with a dremel and it's been working perfectly ever since, eats anything i feed it.

forgot to add, in 2014 during an after shoot cleaning, I saw that there was a small hole on the backside of the bolt, along one of the edges I must not have been cleaning well over time
I sent the rifle (minus stock) to ruger and they sent me back a new bolt, cleaned the shit out of my trigger group and gave me a new synthetic stock! No charge, just the initial FEDEX.

I've owned two and both were at least as reliable as any AR ive had.

I just ordered a mini 14 last week, are accu struts worth it?
Will use for fox hunting.

You literally do not shoot. Everyone who says jamomatic has never used an AR.

Even the three Minis I had usually worked, they just were absurdly inaccurate with the ammo of the time
1911's. My dad's got two Kimbers, a WWI USGI that he bubba'd, and a Springfield Armory. Mom's got a first-gen Para-Ordnance P14. None of them run well, but amusingly, the Para tends to have the fewest malfunctions.
Wouldn't know it if you talked to either of them, though. Dad's an old Marine that thinks the M1911A1 and M16A2 are god's gift to mankind, and Mom is just so happy that she got the Para in the divorce that she won't even look at any other handgun.

for some reason every 1911 that isn't Colt has a horrible reputation
