And unlike the Carbine...
its a huge gas block, is affected by the forend, and often both halves arnt aligned properly/over torqued.....you sometimes see a noticeable change just by realigning and torquing the block.

Which has the “huge gas block”? The M1 Carbine or the M14?

Cut 2" off the Sks receiver and drop the weight by 1.5lbs and id still own mine.
I really liked shooting it, and it was pretty accurate. My buddy who has it now loves it.
I bedded the action, did a trigger job, and removed all the crap from the muzzle. It shot about 1.5" @100 with peeps which was as good as i can do with them.

What crap are you referring to with this: “all the crap from the muzzle” ?

mini-14 has a relatively huge gas block.

Bayonet mount and stud, and a fair portion of the actual tube were removed. Dont know if it helped accuracy since I did it immediately after getting the gun, but I've read it can which is why I usually mention it.
