Mar 6, 2023 · The Mini 14's action is patterned after the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M14 design and all three of those platforms are 2-4 MOA shooters at best and many were accepted by the Army as 4-5 MOA shooters. To do substantially better takes some serious accurizing.

Jan 11, 2025 · I'd like some guidance into getting a Mini 14. I've been reading and watching videos on YT on the platform but would like to hear everyone's advice. I own several AR platform rifles, one which I recently SBR'd. There is something about that Garand/M14 receiver action that's so impressive...

Jun 11, 2010 · Hey everybody, I've decided take the practical step up from a 10/22 and purchase a mini. I can't decide whether to purchase the ranch rifle or the tactical with the rifle stock. I've noticed the ranch has a 18.5" barrel and the tactical a 16.1". I …

Nov 29, 2024 · The factory supplied Picatinny Rail for the Mini-14 (Serial # 584- *) comes with 5 of the slots on the bolt side cut away. Is this cutout only for ease of disassembling the rifle (in particular removing and installing the bolt) or does this also provide clearance for ejecting the spent cartridges? I want to buy a Quick Detach scope mount which is a single piece with front and rear rings (the ...

Mar 8, 2024 · It's worth noting that the ammo for the Mini-14 is a bit lighter than ammo for the Mini-30; This difference will add-up, depending on the amount of ammo carried. Pouches for most Mini-14 mags are same as M-16 pouches. No expert, but pouches for the Mini-30 mags may be a bit harder to find, and perhaps more expensive.

Nov 23, 2011 · I am considering purchasing a couple of Stainless Steel or Nickle mags for my Mini 14. I have heard a lot of bad rap about aftermarket mags. What is the...

Apr 19, 2018 · A gun on my wish list is a current model Mini-14 Ranch Rifle. I have read volumes and volumes of articles and forum posts about the supposedly subpar inherent accuracy of the Mini 14, as well as even more on attempts to accurize them. A lot of what’s out there seems to be about the “old” model...

Nov 15, 2012 · For Mini 14 only I use 23.4 grains with a 55 FMJ, otherwise my brass goes for miles and I find no real increase in accuracy. I think the faster powders burn up in the early stages and the first few inches of the barrel where the barrel is the heaviest.

Nov 5, 2024 · I know that Ruger has changed the firing pin design on their Mini-14 at least once over the years. I also know that there are now at least three aftermarket firing pins available in addition to the (supposedly) factory pin which is available from Numrich Arms (Gun Parts Corp?), some of which are...

Nov 29, 2014 · dear mini 14 friends, in the last month i read a lot 'bout putting buffers in the mini 14, so i too gave it a go. i installed the blue 1911 shok buffers in front and back of the mini 14 ranch rifle. first of all, the rifle runs like a champ and the brass is no longer flying to the next...
