My first rifle. Last generation, of the old style mini-14s. Ordered it new. The gun store actually had to look around for it a bit, back in '05.
choate, F/S flash suppressor combo. XS ghost ring sight. Chopped, pinned and welded at 16.1 butler creek folder, painted brown with rattle can, and clear coat.

Here's mine:
Hoping to do a retro build with it, but losing an auction for a wood handguard today make me wonder if that'll ever happen...

Long time lurker, first time post. I don't have an AR based rifle yet (one day I hope). I do have a few Ruger Mini-14's and other Ruger's though. This is the first one I bought back in 1987. Its been a very reliable rifle. And has had a few different makeovers since I bought it. This is its latest.
Choate PG stock Full set of Wolff springs Heavy gas block top strap front sight Mo-Rod Blind Reaper muzzle break Magpul AFG2 Picatinny rail's at the 9, 3 and 6 spots Specter 3-Point sling Accu-Strut SOCOM barrel stabilizer Vintage Thermold magazine in the mage well The only thing left to do is a Tech-Sight rear sight.

Finally got myself a Mini Thirty. Put about 60 rounds thru it today, had 2 FTF's with Tula ammo, and only 1 time, the round wasn't properly fed by the promag 10 round magazine. I bought the rifle in PA, and couldn't take the two 20's with it, so I had to find something to use with it. FUAC, FUNY.
Anyhoo, the sights were spot-on at 100yd from the factory. Here's a few pics of it propped against my house...    I really like the thing. Depending on what happens in NY, it may wear the factory stock for a while, but I'd really like to put some kinda pistol grip stock on it. ETA: The FTF's were loaded again, and they fired. Good primer strikes the first time around, probably just the cheap Tula ammo having issues. |

Finally took mine out and put it on paper at 25yds. Still need to adjust the windage a little. Accuracy seemed surprisingly good. 20rd factory mags worked perfectly. 30rd factory - not so hot.

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.

The Sage Mod 0 buttstock is made for the full size M14 EBR stock. The SCAR is just a scaled down version of that stock for the Mini. I'll have to modify it to fit but I don't mind, I need the cheek riser anyway. If that doesn't work out, I'm thinking about switching out the F93 with a MFT Minimalist stock. Lighter weight but has all the features I need, plus it looks closer to the Mod 0 stock. Quoted:
Has the stock helped in the accuracy dept? Yes, it has. Though this thing was plenty accurate out of the box. Changing the front sight to the Mo Reaper made me more accurate (narrower front post, plus the hooded front sight matches up perfectly with the rear sight). The Accustrut helped slightly as well. The SCAR is very tight fitting, it essentially beds the stock when you install it. I haven't measured groups or anything but I shoot very accurately with this rifle. |

The strut is pure aluminum and is unnecessary with this newer thick barrel, but it absolutely sucks the heat out. I think it does help accuracy, but that might be all in my head. I also went through some of the action points with a dremel felt wheel and some Flitz. Thing is a clock. I simply love it. No complaints. |

Posted mine earlier in the thread; this isn't mine but it belongs to a family member:
That's a 180 with a heavily modifed factory stock, and holes drilled in the factory wood handguard. For the record, he did this back in the 80's when there was no aftermarket support.
Somebody at PU pointed out it looks kind of like an M14E2... |

How did you add the bottom rail section? just the ruger stock painted with brownells aluma hyde 2 OD. Great stuff. I glass bedded the stock with brownells accu glass gel. This is a must on the ruger factory syn. Helps accuracy tremendously. Its been a long time since i bought the strut. some one was making them in pure aluminum with clamps that fit the full size barrel. Ill try to hunt him down. Not really a vital add on. A2 buttstock sling adapter and the forearm adapter is from isreali weapons. The sling is an MS3 clone that i got taken on, but ebay gave me a full refund. It was for my AR but i was able to get the real deal after i got my cash back. Honestly the clone isnt bad at all, so why not use it on the mini? FREE SLING! ha! I did the trigger job. 4.5 lbs pull. nice and smooth. Primary arms red dot with warne QD ring. Bottom rail: Its a Magpul 7 slot. Just drill the holes and mount! easy. I didnt like how high the rail sits, so i dremmeled out a bit of the stock so i could sink the rail a bit. I epoxied it in there as not to loose stock ruggedness. Wait.. didnt i already say all this stuff a few post up?

So I found my way out of the AR15 board and discovered that we have a Ruger board, I have been missing out. I present to you my Mini 14, I have lots of ARs but this thing is my favorite plinking rifle by far, it will eat anything I feed it and never stops no matter how dirty it is.
It is a 581 series that started life with an ATI Strikeforce stock on it, I did not like how it balanced in the hand so off it came and was replaced with a Hogue stock. The Hogue is great, the balance is perfect and it seems much more accurate. I can pop pine cones on the ground at 50 yards pretty easily. Sometime I put a Bushnell Dusk to Dawn 3-9 on it but most of the time the irons are all I use. I have added a SOCOM AccuStrut and a quick magazine release, both were great investments.
