M1 Carbine........Why Not? Advice Grateful

I like mine too , 140424_005.jpg
 
I like the .30 carbines.
However, a Ruger mini-14 /Ranch Rifle has a similar look, similar size (if a bit heavier), and shoots a much more potent round that's a better man stopper (and cheaper,too).

This begs the question: why aren't wood stocked Mini 14's more popular?
I think that's because they're not tacti-cool looking . They don't appeal to armchair commandos .
And they're not on television all the time being glorified by Hollywood in military and law-enforcement action movies .
