...one of those rubber ones that squeaks when you bite it...

I'll see if my dog will give up one of her squeeky toys for your amusement.

I deeply regret missing the eighties, but thanks to TNN I can catch the A Team and Miami Vice (got your Bren Ten right there) in one convient block if I wake up early enough.  The Mini-14 is a wonderfully amusing gun, and the folding stock is more comfortable than it looks.  The P22 is an enjoyable little pistol, but I have trouble with it because it jumps in my hands and doesn't get enough resistance from my arms so I get frequent jams.  And I definately feel the consequences of .22 ammo being dirty, as I have a pump action .22 from back in the day (early 1900s, cute little peice) and dispite frequent cleaning the debris simply compounds the fact that the chamber is blown out so only lower pressure target rounds will work.

I'm thinking about buying a Mini 14 soon, and was wondering what everybodies opinions are about them. Some people say they hate them, and others love them. Has anybody here owned one? Information drawn from personal experience would be greatly appreciated (please don't regurgitate internet rumors to me [])
