Dean-
It was a pleasure to see you again. It had been a long time.
To answer your question, no this was not an older inventory article. As a matter of fact it came directly from a reader's request--from this Forum no less!
While writing the article, I attempted to point out differences between the two rifles in regard to cost, ergonomics etc. Overall, the article has had a very favorable response. I did state that my personal preference was for the AR, while an instructor who is known nationally prefers the Mini (yes, you know him). After all is said and done it still comes down to what different people like--and that's why both Ford and Chevrolet continue to make cars
