It will not work well for the Mini 14 1) operating rod is going to be rubbing on the bottom of the barrel. Not good for carbon fiber. 2) The gas port will be drilled through the barrel into the bore Hot gas are not good for the carbon fiber either.
On an Ar15 barrel, they leave the portion of the barrel that the gas block clamps on in metal and wrap the remaining portion in carbon.
