No Mr. ATFman, I'm not planning on coverting a Mini.

That said.. after mucking around in the innards of one of these Minis, it struck me -- does the AC556 use the same connector rod assembly that the M14 does for automatic fire? Or did Ruger come up with an original design that doesn't depend on remilling the receiver for a little jumpy rod to move around in?

Thanks!
