Sounds like your mind is made up, but I'd point out that they don't make Model 27's anymore, and you can buy a Mini-14 anytime you want.

I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

Circa 1980: had 2 Mini14s and 12 factory 20 round mags.
Mini 14 will not stand being run hard, parts and accuracy are a problem compared to any AR-15 or any other decent real military rifle.

Thanks to everyone for keeping me from making an expensive mistake.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
For what it's worth, I still like my Mini-14. I wouldn't choose it for any serious use, but it's fun to shoot at the range. Not every gun has to be for serious business only.
If you are looking for a fun gun, follow your heart. If you are looking for a tool to use in high stakes situations, follow your head.
