I recently picked up a used Ruger Mini-14 from the Certified Used Guns Vault at Guns.com, and I couldn’t be happier. It is currently my favorite gun to shoot at the range.

The mini( ranch rifle) in my rotation has been with me for over twenty years. Lots of others have come and gone but, that sweet puppy eyed Ruger has stayed true and is a beloved member of our family. It was the first semi auto rifle me wife ever put in her hands. With that she said “ oh I like that, that’s mine now you know…” and we weren’t even married yet….?!?!

Working on a Mini 14 project myself, very happy with what I have accomplished thus far with enhancing the ergonomics and getting attachments on it. Looking forward to when I have some more coin and can do the rest of the internal work and get the new barrel and trigger setup.

2:39 Actually, the Mini has always been scope-friendly. My 195 series sports a red dot now, and I have used regular scopes on it. (Amazon has a short pic rail for the Mini in either black or silver.) I have been using a Butler Creek folder for 25 years. It’s a little bulky, but it’s as solid as a rock. I love this safety! There is never a doubt about it being in or off and the location is ideal.

I Really liked your review, I'd absolutely love one of the minni 14n's one day ,,just a couple of questions,,the steel that that company that currently makes the stock ,well could that metal be chromed at all? and you mention it was made in 6.8 ,,is that the same 6.8 that the army will be using from Sig ?

@J.Huff76 2 жыл бұрын

It's hard for chrome to adhere to stainless steel but at least stainless steel can be polished to a chrome finish, and it was the 6.8 "SPEC" that Ruger used in the Mini 14 for a short time. Sig is using the .277 "FURY" a new round that is basically a hot rod 6.8 caliber round.

@damienthomas6655 2 жыл бұрын

277 fury? has that been around for some time has it ,,and is 6.8 the same as 277 fury and can it be used in that 6.8 ruger m14? the question about the steel was if the current furniture made for the m14 is wood and black steel (possibly paint) could that black steel be chromed so I would be able to get a m14 looking allot like the one you have,,because as you said the wood and crime stock you have isn t made and is quite exspencive if you can find one for sale ,,I was thinking I could buy the modern furniture and take the steel parts of the wood and have the steel electroplated crome,,it would look great ,,would not look as nice as the original because the wood is alot different but it would look great ,,I really love the wood crome stock origanal like yours but way out of anything I'll be able to afford for some time but I could go the way of buying the simaler furniture and have the steel chromed and I'd get a simaler look which I'm positive would look pretty cool even if not original like yours .I appreciate you replying so thankyou.

An Amega scout rail is available for the older Mini-14's. They allow you to mount a long eye relief scope or a red dot ahead of the action, BUT more importantly, they help stabilize the thin barrel on the pre-580 Mini's. I have one on my Mini, and I have an Accu-Strut. The combination allows me to shoot 1.5 inch groups at 100 mitres. And I do love my Mini-14.

The new versions can stabilize light and medium weight bullets, but the action is optimized for bullet weights around 55 grains (3.564 grams) to 62 grains (4.018 grams). The old versions can only stabilize bullets around 55 grains (3.564 grams) in weight, due to the old barrel rifling twist rate.

@ruggedmeetsrefined5345 2 жыл бұрын

Sweet rifle. I’ve always wanted the stainless tactical (16.12” barrel). I had a Mini 14 tactical with the Samson A-TM folding stock and Amega scout rail. Very cool looking and the folding stock was extremely well made. I messaged them to make a rubber overmolded stock that was more lightweight to replace the Mini-14 tactical with the hideous AR looking stock that Ruger offers. Here are a few issues I have with the Mini-14: They used to be known as a very affordable rifle, but now they are $1000-$14000. For that price, Ruger should offer a product equally as refined as a Springfield M1A, just in 5.56 or 7.62x 39. It should have a much more robust rear sight, a tritium front sight, some parts should be machined, not cast. I had three firing pins break on me. I do a lot of dryfiring but always use a snapcap, and the firing pin would shear off at the rear lug, not the tip on all three firing pins. Solution was to keep it as a two piece firing pin, and it always went bang. The magazine latch spring broke. Again, I shot mine a lot, and did a fair amount of dryfiring with it, but I took very good care of it. It was more than accurate enough, never had any accuracy issues. It’s just a piece of junk. Ruger is a publicly traded company so they care about their bottom line more than product improvement. It is a $450-$550 rifle MAX. For $1,000-$1,400?? They should be ashamed of their inattention to detail. A Springfield M1A is $1400-$2000, but it’s also chambered in .308, and is a much more refined, and well made rifle.

The only problem with a mini 14 is that it’s not an AR-15. Besides that I’d probably own one if it took AR-15 magazines and didn’t cost way too much money.
