[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2723878, member: 93138"] I second this. I took the minor weight penalty on my lightweight build to get it. You know how some rifles just seem to understand what you're trying to hit and help you out while others seem to work actively against you? My Mini in 7.62x39 just hits what I point it at, every time. Ammo choice doesn't seem to matter a lot, but it does show an affinity for the PPU SP's. To me, this is the definition of an "Inherently Accurate Rifle". Those who don't like how proud the mag bottom sits can do something about it. You won't get it flush, but it will get a lot less proud if you don't mind losing one or two rounds of capacity. Note the rib on the sides of the body that is almost flush when inserted in the rifle. Can cut the mag body down to the bottom of that rib and reassemble it. As I recall in 7.62x39 this makes it a 3 round magazine.
