    Front and rear sights are different (more like the M-1 Carbine)and the outside of the receiver has a more rounded look.

    They are also supposed to be more accurate. Although I've not had much experience with the Mini 30, the Mini 14's that I've shot were not very accurate by my standards. 3+" at 100 yards is not good enough for coyote shooting.
