The Ruger Mini-14 is a good weapon because of it's simplicity and ease to clean,
the M-4 because of it's enclosed bolt and system are more time consuming and a little harder to clean. Both are capable of select fire. The M-4 and the Ruger
AC-556. The AC-556 would be easier to clean sand out of as the receiver is an open visible design and is based on the M-1 and M-14 designs. Just wonder what your thought are about this question.

The M4 is definitely a more modern weapon with a lot more aftermarket add ins available. The mini 14 is a solid and reliable carbine. I own both an AR-15 style rifle and a Ruger mini-14. I like both. They both have areas where they shine. It really boils down to your personal preference and what you're going to be doing with the weapon.

I know my scores on the range at over 100 yrds are by far better with the Mini-14.

As a professional in the Firearms industry, I would say M-4, hands down. It is way way more modular than the mini-14.
I love the mini 14 for it's classic styling, ease of handling and I feel it is a dream to shoot and clean. HOWEVER, it is slightly heavier than the M4, is not as modular and does not lend itself in it's present form to adaptation.
The Mini-14 does not offer significant improvement over the M-4 to warrant the change over.
Just my opinion.
