1000% agree! Love the Ultimak. absolutely worth it! I have one on my Mini with a Holosun 503 GU. It is way smaller and lighter than that Eotech and it has that "Circle Of Death" reticle as well. I can ring steel out to 250 yards at will with it. Get a trigger job done as well from Accuracy Systems. Huge improvement! 3.5 lbs crisp and clean. $80. Mini's are way over gassed from the factory. A gas bushing set from Accuracy Systems for $30 will get you a rifle that ejects the empty shells about 10ft, instead of a mile and is way less violent. Major accuracy improvement there. A true Shot Barrel Stabilizer will help improve accuracy as well for $59. They look super cool too! A Choate stock fits much tighter than the factory stock and in turn improves accuracy. A Specter Gear 2 point sling is the only way to go in my opinion. I get it though. The Mini is anything but the cheapest route to go. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck get an AR. I still prefer the Mini.
@johnshields91104 жыл бұрын
Before the Ranch Rifle version, the 1-80 series, you had to use a side mount for a scope, just like the original Army M14. I scoped two of the Mini 14's 40 years ago for my older brother, and one for my ground hog hunting buddy. I had to add some thin brass shims to get the mounts perfected. However, both of these where nearly 1 MOA rifles. In shooting the Mini 14, you have to be really careful with not letting the curved stock back move vertically on your shoulder, while correcting any hand hold on the stock near the trigger. Torque the screws to spec, and find a load the rifle likes. With one of the rifles I could put 5 shots in a quarter a 100 yards. The other, my buddies, I killed a crow at 560 yards -- which he never lived down to his dying day. My brother kept his till going into his second Rest Home, whereas I purchased it; hoped to be shooting it soon. They are marvelous truck guns, plus my buddies got left on top of a truck and was flung onto a set of rail road tracks when we crossed them. We feared the worse, but except for a few scratches, it didn't even loose zero. My buddy as mentioned had a later model Ranch Rifle stainless version, mounted in a black synthetic stock. It did not shoot very well and was more of a 3 MOA gun. I never got to give it the full varminting make over, but I'm faithfully reporting on real rifles. Women shooter preferred shooting the Mini 14 versus the AR 15, if anyone cares to know.

@junkyardwillie83204 жыл бұрын
Maybe you’ve heard this before, but it really is true. I think it was around 15 years ago they started making some changes to the structure of the barrel. Got rid of that old pencil type and put in a thicker, heavier tapered barrel that greatly helps with accuracy. Trust me, speaking from personal experience. I don’t know if I would exactly call them tackdrivers, it may not be as great as an AR, but it’s still Damn good, especially compared to what you bought a few decades ago. I would suggest giving it another try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I don’t personally own one, I never have, but I’ve shot them on many occasions. I’ve been putting off picking one up for a while now, and after seeing that folding stock, I think I might just go pick up a stainless mini, pay the couple hundred bucks for the stock, wait forever to get it since demand is so high and then go out and have some fun

Hey, it only has to be accurate enough to take big game in case you need food or hit center mass on a person for self defense. That's it. It doesn't have to be a tac driver at 600 yards its not meant to be. If that's what your looking for buy a precision rifle. I made 2 essential upgrades to mine. The first upgrade is an Accuracy Systems extended firing pin for $70. It fires every kind of ammo now, including the steel cased stuff. It is an easy and cheap upgrade that makes this rifle a workhorse. The 2nd upgrade I made was a lighter sear spring by MCarbo for $12.95. Then I polished the trigger sear and hammer sear with a polishing stone. My trigger is about 4lbs. Smooth.

My Mini 14 is a 581+ Ranch Tactical (Scored at a pawn and gun shop for $550 with box and 2 factory 20 rounders in May of 2020) with the 16 inch barrel, an Archangel Sparta chassis, Leatherwood Hi-Lux 1-4x24 LPVO, Magpul flip up BUIS, bolted on rail with a foregrip and a Cogburn Arsenal Trigger Finger Mag Release. This thing kicks an AR's ass in my humble opinion. I can use pretty much any dirt cheap brand of mags I want with 0 issues, despite a great many people saying theirs run horribly with anything but factory Ruger mags. I missed out on the Tapco Gen 2s, but I bought 10 Thermolds (3 triple packs and a single) from Sportsman's Guide and they run flawlessly. Same with Promag polymer and Promag steel mags. Even found one from Ram-Line, of all companies still in the package at a local sporting goods store. Its a hybrid mag for both the Mini 14 and AR-15 and its great too.

James - Love the videos. Before I bought my mini-14, I saw a lot of videos of folks struggling to remove magazines. I even recall you struggling in the another video. I spent a few minutes at the bench figuring out what was happening and it's pretty simple. When the mag release is pressed and held, the magazine will swing and then fall out under its own weight. When I was having trouble it was from not holding the lever long enough for these two things to happen. Because an AR mag falls straight out, it doesn't matter how briefly you hold the release lever. On a mini, what's needed is to hold the lever an instant longer and the mag falls out just like on an AR. What I'm seeing in the videos is folks only holding the lever long enough for the mag to swing, but not fall. Then they release the lever early and fight with the mag.

I put it in a Choate folding stock and sometimes had a flashlight electrical taped to the forearm just like bill Murray in Caddy shack.

I left the face and whiskers and hair on so it looked like a crazy mountain man eye patch.

Ok there, A-Team. “Face”..... So, I’m stuck in New York. After the Connecticut shooting (False Flag)- the mini 14/30 became our best option. I picked up a mini 14, and a mini 30 I configured into a Scout Rifle. They both were heavily upgraded immediately. Barrel stabilizer despite both being 580 series. Unlike others, I am able to low mount my rifle scope on my mini-14 because I am a retired Aircraft Structural Technitian. I have ZERO ejection problems and my brass never comes anywhere near my scope. Polished every moving part, dropped trigger pull on both to a consistent 3.0 pounds. I also went with all Wolff Chrome Silicon Springs. I do have Ultimac fore ends on both. No recoil because of the slight added weight. I’m building a NY legal AR, it’s going to be FUGLY with the Thordsenson stock, but wish me luck on that, as I am for now going to use my 7.62x39 ARtop end that is prone to make shooters cry. Down the road, after I leave NY, I’m going to go with a BRN-180 top end with a folding stock On an AR receiver.

When I take out new shooters I like to bring the Mini 14 stainless for an end of the day mad minute. The mini is actually far more popular with new shooters than the AR. I also think new shooters and bystanders are more comfortable with the looks of the Mini 14

How does the stock mini30 compare to the stock sks in terms of accuracy?
@MIDNIGHTSUNALASKA3 жыл бұрын
My stock Mini (no mods) shoots just a hair under MOA with Fiocchi 55 grain FMJ's. And a tad better with handloads. Having had one of the first generation models from the 70's I wasn't expecting the new 581 to be as good as it is...but I'm damned impressed.!

Another good upgrade is the accu-strut barrel strut/stabilizer, gives the mini better accuracy and that classic M1A look. Also, an amega rail/scout mount does the same thing as the ultiMAK at around the same price and gives you a little bit more variability in your sight radius. Just my two cents! Great vid Jimbo.

The most important upgrade is the Accu-strut, which has been known for 30 years.

Best upgrade you can do is an adjustable gas block so it doesn't fling brass 38 feet and work the hell out of the bolt. Makes it feel like a new gun.

I recently received, after many months of back order (but I am not complaining) a Sampson Mini-14 folding stock for my 195 series, stainless steel Ranch Rifle. Fits great, after a little fumbling; additionally, I agree the the butt plate release is very stiff. Finally got my A-Team rifle without spending an exorbitant amount of money. Looks and feels great.

I really appreciate the name change at the beginning. Top notch. 11/10.
I have always enjoyed the Ruger Mini's. I always regretted selling my folder but was made an offer I couldn't refuse by an A-Team fanatic. I have a police trade in Mini-14 that has a banged up polymer stock that I'm definitely buying that folder for. I also have the newer Mini-14 Tactical, a Mini-30, Mini-6.8 and Mini-300. All great guns. My Mini-6.8 I got for a steal when the Wal-Mart near me cleared out it's semi-auto rifles. I have a Walnut stock that Truly duplicates the M-14 and Made my Mini-300 look like a Miniature M14 with the Accustrut and long flash-hider w/bayonet lug and straight 20rnd mags. Great video as always.
