The selector switch.
Ah, gotcha (it's an AC-556, the full auto version of a Mini-14)
That much I know, just never seen one up close, therefore didn't recognize the selector switch. |

Just scored this... just as it came from Ruger in 1985
With the addition of the flash hider which will be off soon enough.... but it's got the A-Team Look

Many A-Team fans in this thread....
I hope yours shoot better than theirs because I don't think in all the seasons of that show they ever actually shot any one. |

That's like something out of my own head. If I were going to buy another Mini, I planned to build it very similar to what you have there. Very nice looking rifle. What rail are you using there? |

Bought it new and over the years traded out the original stock for an early Ranch style stock with a plastic butt plate .
Got 5 - 20 round pre ban magazines that work just fine. Only change is the rear sight - I installed a Tech Sight and it works much nicer than the original one.  " target="_blank">

Stock is factory ruger that I stippled right on top of the factory checkering. I love the feel of it now. Even with wet or oily hands the gun feels secure in hand.

Somebody on this site had a post about possible production of a stock similar to the Ruger folders...........I wish someone would, as the GB I am getting would look sweet with one
Quoted:
The Tacticals look so darned good in the old folders. Wish Ruger would start producing those again. Your GB looks just like mine

Ruger Ranch with Rugers Hogue Camo stock. Trigger work done by Brimstone Gunsmithing to 3 lbs, measure at 3.0-3.1 using my digital scale. Mini200R Tech Sights because I'm tired of adjusting those little screws. I have yet to sight it in, hopefully in about a week.

I removed the rubber butt-pad (just two screws) and I drilled out the hole that held the rear sling swivel, using a rat-tail file I fit a A2 sling swivel from a AR-15 butt-stock. I then I drilled out the back of the mini ranch stock and use a lower bolt from an M-14 butt-stock to hold the rear AR-15 sling swivel in place, replacing the lower wood screw that was on the Ruger stock. 
The front sling swivel I removed the "Loop" from a German 98K swivel mount, after I re-sized the hole in the gas block on the mini (don't drill to deep) it fit right in. Drilling the gas block on the mini was very hard, the rifle is stainless steel.
