There are several sites on the web that will give you tips on tuning up the Mini. You can do so for little out of pocket and get to an AR class of accuracy. The thing about the mini is that as a copy of the M-14 / Garand system it is a very reliable platform to start with. Get the Mini to shoot MOA and it becomes a real bad hombre. Oh, the 30 is a .308 not a .311 if you did not know, so you have a wide choices of bullet weights for it.

Do not trust your life to an M-1 Carbine. Its failures as a man stopper are legendary both in Europe and in the Pacific during WWII and then again in Korea. Many if not most of the front line troops issue carbines ended up decorating rivers, creeks and swamps, replaced by Garands and Thompsons.
