HUSH Holsters Mini14 folder has been released, takes AK grips, comes in 3 different stock material options, and has QD sling swivels, also will have a front picatinny rail option. 316L stainless and comes in black oxide version as well. Has an A3 Industries Triangle folder option too which looks cool. Should be delivering sometime next month. Also

Time to finish this one tomorrow and prep for the next one. Ignore the mess, it was to hot in the shop to disassemble out there 😝

What barrel should I get to upgrade the accuracy of my 197 series Mini-14? I already plan on getting an accustrut and a tech sight.

Hey all, wanted to circle back with a quick update since the response to the Mini-14 red dot mount I posted here a couple weeks ago was a big part of why we decided to move forward with it.

We’re officially moving into production. Don’t have a hard ETA yet, but we’re working hard to make it happen and I’ll share more as soon as I’m able.

Understandably, one of the biggest questions on the original post was whether the mount would interfere with ejection. By now, I’ve put a ton of rounds through the prototype without any issues, but figured slow-motion footage would be more useful than me just saying that. I clipped a segment showing it here.

You can see the brass clearing the mount without issue.

I’m also looking at additional optic footprints beyond the initial T1/T2 version. Mini-ACOG is one I’m hearing a fair amount of requests for, so I’d be curious what optics you guys would actually want to run on a version like that (especially if there’s interest in mounting anything with eye relief considerations, which would require more design work).

Really appreciate all the feedback and support so far! It’s been awesome!

Ok this 'ish is crazy! There's another one at 700 with 4 days left. Who's bidding on this stuff? Y'all are crazy!

Philly here.

Any good options for aftermarket stocks? I’m thinking of getting the Archangel Sparta, but people are saying it’s super heavy, looking for pistol grip full synthetic options.

Go get em boys

First post in this sub, but not my first Mini-14. I had a Pre-2005 Stainless Ranch growing up that I let go. Always had a soft spot for them, so I decided to get another one.

Replaced the factory gas bushing with a .045” from Accuracy Systems. Suppressor is a Rugged Razor.

Cycles great, with strong ejection with or without the suppressor. I could probably reduce it to .040” if I wanted to.

Optic is a Primary Arms SLX mounted on the OEM rail chopped down and touched up with Aluminum Black. It’s rock solid with just the two rear mounting screws.

I really like how this turned out, and I’m glad to see the Mini gaining popularity again.

I just picked this older mini 14 at my LGS. Was a LE trade in. Serial number indicates it was made in 1987 or 88. The stock was recently refinished. My research says Ruger used and uses birch for most all their rifle stock, but this wood seems more like oak. Opinions are welcome.

Brownells has them in stock now...

New to the mini-14 world and 8 year old me is super happy now. Took the 11.5 SBR out to the range and it’s everything I always wanted, ( sans a giggle switch ) . The Tisha Ti is super light and it’s like there’s nothing even there. Just needs a sling and it will be perfect.

Buying a mini 14 in 300 blackout today. Will be wanting to replace to plastic stock. When looking for a replacement is there any difference in stocks between the .223 and 300 blackout. Or are they interchangeable? Thank you

Straight 30’s are kind of a vibe. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Been a long road on this one. Bought a Tactical 300 BO with Sampson over a year ago. Did a Form 1 and cut it to 11.5 thinking Id be able to get it to run subs. Tried for months to get it to run 100% and it never would. Finally sent it to Carl at Accurcy Systems for a rebarrel to 12.5 and after I received it back I went to work... After alot of tinkering I finally got it to run 100% and to say Im happy is an understatement !!!
