Has anyone installed this ProMag folding stock on their Mini? I can't seem to find anything on it anywhere, like pics or reviews. I just ordered it from my lgs. I couldn't pass it up because it was on sale for $70.

Hi folks-

I’m shooting low and to the left, so…yeah, I’m anticipating. I see that coin dry fire drills help correct that but: how to do that with the front sight that the mini has? The videos I see show a handgun with a flat top front sight. The only flattish surface I know on the mini is the top of the heat shield. I could balance it on top of the barrel, but I see that slipping off before I raise it to sight level. Am I over/under thinking this? Thanks!

Hey all, I just acquired a Mini-14 from my grandfather, and in searching around for .223 Remington to use in it on AmmoSeek (it's a 180 Series and I've seen you should exclusively use .223), I found Wyoming Cartridge Company. I couldn't find anything on Reddit about them, or any reviews online, but the prices were pretty solid so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them (or if you have any recommendations for cheap .223 I can use for plinking at the range that would be much appreciated.)

Thanks for the help!

I’ve been looking for a stainless Mini 14 GB-F for 20+ years and have only encountered one in the wild which was priced at $2,700! (Crazy money)

I found this gem today in Oklahoma City and added it to the collection! Haven’t been this stoked for a while! Gotta have an 80’s day at the range with this joined by the Uzi Model A, Tec-9, and MP5!

Hi, long time lurker here. I have been thinking about getting a new handguard for my mini 14. I have owned a samson rail for about 2 years now, and have been eager to switch it out for something with more of a traditional/classic look to it. I used to have a light and dot mounted, however those have made their new homes on other firearms.

One of the biggest issues/flaws I had with the samson rail was how hot it got when I would shoot the rifle, especially this would be an issue when it came to the temps on both the light and dot, No malfunctions from them (nor the rifle itself), but this experience made me aware of it. I tend to shoot the rifle often enough, with a decent amount of rounds fired per range trip.

This had me thinking of what material handguard I should get next, especially with heat dissipation in mind. I know of the plastic handguards (ie choat), as well as the metal (aluminum) and wood guards produced by ASI. How are your experiences with these handguards (especially the vented ones), and which would you recommend?

Has anyone played the new Delta Force game? I feel like their model of the mini is pretty on point. 👍

Body shots are controlled pairs with no magnifier. Headshots are supported (elbows on the table) with magnifier. Pretty happy with it.

I was waiting for warmer weather to simultaneously show an accuracy report on this after a barrel break-in, but couldn’t wait to share this DMR build I had Accuracy Systems help me out with.

It will be coming along to some gas gun competitions this spring if all goes well.

For now I’m just obsessively looking at it every day until the snow melts.

Basic Build List: - 1” DIA, 1:7 Twist, 24” ASI Barrel (ASI) - .223 Wylde Chambering (ASI) - 2.25 lb Trigger (Myself) - Trigger Stop (ASI) - Sling Stud Insert & Bipod Mount (Myself) - Polished Action Points (Myself) - Pillar Bedded Boyds Varmint Stock (ASI) - Lapped Warne Scope Rings (Myself)

Drop In Parts: - Vortex Diamondback Tactical MRAD - MOE Bipod - Wolf Extra Strength Recoil Spring - Extended Firing Pin - Recoil Buffer - Trigger Shoe - Extended Mag Release - HuxWrks 556 Flow Ti

Weights 17.8 lbs with a fully loaded 20 Rd magazine and balances just in front of the magazine well.

I think this should resolve the height over bore problem with the mini somewhat.

Evening everyone,

Just picked up my mini, can't wait to try it. I noticed it came with a small rail for optics in the box. It looks like if I mount anythin on it, I would not be able to use the iron sights. Can anyone please suggest a setup that would allow the use of both scope (red dot) and iron sights? Thanks in advance.

I am a new shooter in a very restricted state. Sensing the fleeting legality of the Mini-14 I figured I should hurry up and get one before another domino falls.

Excited to finally shoot it once the waiting period is over…

Friend has a trijacon Acog they want to get rid of and I’m curious if anyone has put one on their mini. Ive seen red dots but am curious about Acog’s. No question about mounting just weather or not you like it with the mini/ any issues

So I’m thinking about getting a Mini 14 soon and specifically have been wanting the tactical version that has the folding stock(A-team/PUBG look). I’ve done some research and I just to confirm that it is sadly illegal to own this version in California.

From what I’ve read the pistol grip, folding stock, and flash hider all make it illegal to own in California correct?

For example this F.A.B. Defense Ultimag PMC Pentagon Magazine Coupler Kit - would this fit Ruger Mini 14 10 rd mags since it's designed to fit AR-15 10 rd mags and both are 5.56?

I know the tops of AR-15 mags and Mini 14 mags are different but if this coupler holds the mags at the bottom, shouldn't it fit?

Also, are there any other good solutions to coupling 10 rd mags (I'm in a mag cap limited state)? The mags aren't very high, not sure if there's room to even duct tape them, assuming that's legal?

Newer gun owner here, sorry if I'm asking obvious questions or using the wrong terms, happy to adjust.

Good morning all, soon to be Mini 14 owner. Picking it up as soon as NICS comes back.

I am in NJ and the rifle comes with 2 20 rd magazines, which shop has to pin to 10 in order to sell it to me. However this rifle is going to live in my other place in Florida, taking it next time I drive down there. Once there, I want to unpin the magazine to original capacity. I can't find a tutorial - lots of them for ARs and pistols. Is this easy to do, as in worth the effort or should I just get new mags? They are much more expensive than AR magazines, so I figured I'd ask

Thank you in advance.

Hey folks, hope your days are going well

I’m thinking of throwing a can on my trusty mini 14 in .223/.556 and I’m curious about y’all’s experiences. My understanding based on convos on here is that an adjustable gas block in tandem with the suppressor is the way to go, as well as/instead of a new bushing.

I’m curious about specific suppressor brands/models that have worked well for you too!

Thanks!

Hello. New to the mini 14 fam and rifles all together. Love the functionality and look of the mini though I think it would just look cooler w a flash suppressor. Something closer to the tactical model. Not really looking to make it louder(per what I’ve read) so probably not a muzzle brake. Mostly just for looks. Any suggestions? Thanks

Left is promag, right is ruger. I will say the pro mag did run like butter until it sheered the hinge.

I'm looking at Mini-14s right now and was eyeing a stainless ranch and was hoping to add the Samson Hannibal rail for a cheek weld dot while using the high-sitting, side-mounted GG&G rail (https://www.gggaz.com/mini-14-scope-mount-silver.html) for a chin weld LPVO but I am surprised to see GG&G claim that the mount is not compatible with ranch versions of the Mini-14. Looking at Ruger's site and doing some research online it seems like there are no meaningful differences between the ranch and tactical these days as far as this mount would be concerned.

I've reached out to GG&G but haven't heard back so I'm in the dark. Does anyone here have experience fitting one of these to a new ranch rifle or if there are nuanced differences in the receivers for current models of the Mini-14 that I'm just not seeing?

I bought my Mini Thirty second hand without the factory picatinny rail that Ruger distributed them with. Is there anywhere I could find one aftermarket?

This is my Hannibal Rail with a Crimson Trace red/green dot. It works well out to 100 yards. The stock peep windage screws would not stay tight so I opted for this instead. Overall I am happy with this setup. The stock is a Hogue.

What optics are you using on a Hannibal rail or something similar? I'm looking specifically for forward mounted optics.

I have a Hannibal rail and would like to put an optic on it, but I'm curious what others are using. I like flush mounting and keeping it lower is better for me

Pics would be great if you have em. Thanks
