Now this is a cool Ruger Mini-14

[ECVMatt]

Factory A-Team Special



I would grab one of these if I did not live in a ban state....and the price is CRAZY!

I have always liked the look of the Ruger GB.

That can’t be tactical, I see wood and not a single rail...and not a chance. It’s cold but not that cold...

 

[BreechFace]

That’s the only mini that interests me. And it would have to be a new series as well, one that doesn’t shoot shotgun patterns.

I’ve heard pretty good accuracy as compared to minis of old with the new models.

 

[jmorris]

I’d rather have this one but again not for that kind of money.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

I like the Nickel-teflon coated magazines.....

That stock looks incredibly painful to shoot. Maybe that's why Hannibal always fired from the hip?

 

[BreechFace]

It’s a 223, they are not bad to shoot.

 

[Bcwitt]

I wish they would make that same style in a 762 adapted for ak mags.

Ruger is definitely pushing the nostalgia button with this one.

It reminds of the ads from the 80's. For some reason I have always loved this ad:



I know there are much better choices now, but a SS Mini as a boat rifle in the 80's was a pretty cool thing.

Franklin's in Athens, Georgia has an actual
M-240 Squad Automatic brand new and it's almost 12 grand.

 

[Mosin Bubba]

Pretty sweet. And not too expensive either, considering that a box-stock Mini costs about a grand.

I’ll take it, if it transfers on a form 4.

Non transferable though right?

Probably a semiauto.

Not as much fun but no tax stamp required.

A $500k firearm wouldn’t last long at 12k.

Probably a semiauto.

Do not want

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

I like it-- but not for that kind of money.

C’mon Mini-30 version!!!

I got my standard 181 series Mini-14 in "76". I was 15 and told my mom "It's just a bigger .22". Still have it original. Gotta include this.

Super awesome looking.

It appears it will take a bayonet, too.

 

[jmorris]

C’mon Mini-30 version!!!

Yeah but the 300blk is perfect for the mini 14. If you want to reach out accurately with the .223, just get an AR and blow the extra money on the wife. Have more accuracy and a happy wife, win/win.

I gotta admit, if I'm going to get a folding stock I'd want a shorter barrel than 18.5" in the OP. I mean, the goal is compactness for transport, right?

Soooo . . . buy the stock in your link and stick it on a 16 incher and probably get rid of the flash hider. https://ruger.com/products/miniThirty/specSheets/5854.html

Better yet a pinned and welded 14.5” with a surefire muzzle to attach a suppressor to.

Or a 10” 300 BLK with a permanently attached 30 cal can on the end to get it out passed 16”

Or just say the heck with it and SBR it.

Nah, if you want to play Mad Murdock you need long M14-type flashhider

Nor does it have a weather station, flashlight, laser, or a dozen other can't live without doo-dads plastered all over it. One would be laughed right off the shooting range, or out of the tactical "contest" by all the expert posers. Just the lack of a rail would spell one's doom.

Samson has been making the reproduction folding stock under a license from Ruger for several years now. If you buy a Mini-14 Tactical at current prices and add the Samson stock, the cost would be similar to the advertised price on that special. But you could get the stock for a Mini 30.

Besides the Samson stock, that model also has the front sight with a bayonet lug.

James Reeves put a Samson folding stock on his Mini and has a video about it. He also took the same Mini to Thunder Ranch and you can watch Clint Smith express his opinions on it (generally positive).

Also, you can get a front rail that replaces the factory plastic handguard also from Samson. I know Samson wasn't the first to offer such a thing, but their version is pretty decent. James also reviews this.

The stock is not painful. It is heavy. The folding part is steel. The Mini-14 Tactical in 5.56 NATO with polymer stock and Hannibal rail is 7 pounds. With the Samson folding stock and Hannibal rail, it is 8.2 pounds. Those are the results of me weighing them (not just spec sheets).
