    Mini 14

    I have a couple “promags”. Definitely not original quality and I had to modify the pin holes and replaced the follower to get them reliable. If your really going to use the mags I would say go with originals.

    Mini 14 information (good deal?)

    Hello, depends what your going to do with it, the physical shape, and who your buying from. It will never be a tack driver but they are fun for casual plinking or varmints out to 100yds considering other variables. Rifling wears down eventually as does the extractor. Buying from a regular...

    Where to purchase Mini-14 mags

    I've picked up a couple Pro-mags from cheaper than dirt. Had to replace the follower and they work great now.

    Thoughts on an ACCU STRUT

    I picked up my mini sans accu-strut and groups were so so. I installed the strut x-drill and groups did tighten. I didn't take measurements or anything but I think it helped. I use iron sight usually around 100yds. Fun as hell to shoot!

    Mini 14 Customer Service

    I recently picked up a new 10/22 and day 1 at the range the rear sight fell off, literally slid right out of the dovetail. Not 5 minutes on the phone and they had a new and better one on the way, I was happy.

    80s vintage Ruger Mini 14 GB rifles.

    Nice, very nice set. I have a 183 standard SS wood and I love it.

    10/22 Scope?

    Nice little scope, mine was delivered last week. Nice clear view and smooth diopter. The 1 thing I didn't like are the screws holding the top ring mounts, just crazy cheap. Easy to swap them out with some stainless hex head I had laying around. Easy to dial in and seemed to hold it there. Good luck!

    Sounds like a good idea.

    New LCR Grips!

    Really nice looking. Post a range report update would be much appreciated.

    Mini 14 sights

    I have the tech-sight rear and it's good. Now my problem has been the simple blade front (183) there's just not enough contrast to focus on. I'm considering a fiber optic but haven't settled on anything yet.

    Ruger Mini 14 Ejector Problem

    Hi, how about a picture of the gas pipe and front of the operating rod after a few rounds without cleaning. Has the rifle ever cycled correctly?

    Mini-14 Choate Handguard

    I'm happy to say that the replacement guard stayed right in place through 90rds yesterday at the range. Thanks for everyone's input.

    Mini-14 Choate Handguard

    Thanks DGW, do you notice an accumulation of gas between the open sights during steady fire using the Choate? After finishing a honeydew home project I'm ready to get to the range, test my new Handguard and add another clip if needed.

    Mini-14 Choate Handguard

    Thanks Hawkeye, When I noticed it getting loose I did take a pair of padded vice grips and pinched the clamp tighter and that immediatly helped it out. The new handguard CM&T sent me fits exactly like the old one, and that is, you mentioned, without the clamp fully seated on the barrel but like...

    Mini-14 Choate Handguard

    My Choate handguard cliped on tight when new but got very loose after 60rds. The nice folks at CM&T sent me another without plinking an eye. The new one is exactly like the old one in fit. Anyone with any experience with this?
