I don't know for sure but I have my doubts that a Mini could go 31,165 rounds without a cleaning. I owned two Mini's and know they didn't like to be gummed up with carbon and unburnt powder.

Here's an article that you might find interesting. 31,165 rounds without a cleaning.

My first gun will probably be my last gun. Single shot Savage bought at Coast to Coast hardware store in 1964. Super simple, light, rugged and as accurate today as it was 47 years ago. Ammo is cheap and I can carry a lot of it without weighing me down. It isn't loud but it will take a rabbit at 70 yards or a squirrel with a 30 yard head shot, I don't need more than that. Best of all anybody in my family can shoot it no matter how old and frail they are, its a shooters gun not an experts gun that needs weeks of training, a manual and a box full of tools to maintain it.
