Didn't mean to be terse. It's just that I'm a gadget freak and I thought it might be a cool fix for a Mini14. It didn't give me any more accuracy after trying several brands and weights of ammo, but maybe you need to try other things with it. I've heard the gas blocks can be a big part of an overhaul. But it looks cool. In retrospect I'd rather try an aftermarket barrel though they're expensive. But you're dealing with a military design that's not easily turned into a tackdriver. Good luck.
