    Matt Berger, I read a great article on the new Auto Ordance 30 cal. Carbine. I would love to buy one… As a matter of fact can I guy the test gun?

    Regardles can I be assured that the new little carbine will shoot as good as the report?…I don’t need sub MOA (However I would gladly pay extra for such a gun) But I would like 1″ @ 100 yrds…Please Advise..

    Also because I live in Ca. Is the Kel Tec SU 16 more accurate?…Or the Mini 14…(Though I never saw a Mini 14 that would shoot…Please Advise.

    Thank You
