Anyone have experience shooting this combination?   My mini has a shortened barrel, 13 inches, with extended flash hider.  Some report short stroking with shorter AR barrels.  Thanks

If your Mini-14 has the stock gas port bushing, it vents quite a bit more gas into the action than is needed to run the gun.  This helps keep the gun functioning if it's dirty or lacking lube, and I bet it would allow you to run RG just fine.  FWIW, my stock Mini-14 runs great on Wolf, which short strokes in my Colt AR-15.

When the SS109 first came into the world I bought a couple BANDOLIERS of the Canadian stuff
My Mini 14 shot it like Shit!
Thats because it had a 1/14 twist way back then 80`S

Now I think Mini 14 have different twist rate!
if you have a 1/9 should work okay?
Back then I used Q3131 and PMC brown box/ camo box! norrinco also
Man that was the Good ole days

Thank you guys.  I was thinking about changing the gas port bushing to reduce recoil and looking for my brass.  Also, I think it does have the quicker rate of twist.   Looks like I am good to go.  I appreciate the help.
Speaking of the old Q3131, I have a box sitting on my desk.  I believe it is of 89 production and is stamped WCC.   If I remember correctly, this stuff was pretty expensive at the time , $4.00-5.00.  However, it was too many years ago for me to remember with certainty.

My early 1980s vintage Mini-14 has a 1/10 twist.  Ruger has changed the twist on the Mini-14 a couple of times.  I think current production rifles have a 1/9 twist.

Just received my two orders from Widener.  Watched a movie putting 1400 rounds of stripper clips.  The ammo is clean and both containers were marked 1990.  I think a fair price for some good looking ammo.
