That's actually my favorite rifle. It IS picky about mags though, there's a local gunstore that sells good ones in the 20 and 30rd variety. They just need a very slight lip adjustment to angle the bullets up just a bit, then they feed like the factory 5rd. As for the gun itself, make sure it has a good spring in it, you should probably keep a couple on hand. Make sure to use OIL, not grease. Make sure the gas port is open, and it will treat you well. I usually only shoot up to 100yds, but that's because I like the iron sights. I've had to do some tinkering with a mini 14 to get it sorted out for a friend. It's not so picky about mags, but if the tip of the bullet splats into the back of the receiver, check the angle of the bullets against a known good mag. Anyways, a good cleaning, oiling, and a new spring brought that one to life. I wouldn't mind a stainless mini 14, but I HATE folding stocks. Anyways, you have to know the minis to make them happy. The accuracy problem is one I've never encountered, even with the cheapest ammo I could find. :-|
