Ruger has always been a PC company, it pisses me off, but it doesn't surprise me. Just one more reason for me not to buy a mini 14

They moved the thread... here's the new link...
perfectunion.com/forums/showthread.php?s=47789eac40a0b5fcc42a1f5d10d55520&threadid=1632 edit to add: I remember hearing this rumor a few years back from a few of the dealers in my area... I figured it was just to help inflate the prices of the used rifles... but I wouldn't be surprised if PC Ruger did something like that, take a perfectly POS rifle and make it worse... |

I have no idea if Ruger changed their magwell, but I will say this:
You can't base ANYTHING on the fit of a USA mag. The key would be to test an older factory Ruger mag (even a 5-rounder). If that didn't fit, then, Houson, we have a problem. -Troy |

Amen to that, brother. The only USA mag I have is for my FEG hi-power, and it requires a good hard shove to get it in to the mag well. It's functional, but noticeably more difficult to insert than my promags. I don't think that Ruger was screwing with the magwell.

Wouldn't that also prevent older 5 round Ruger mags from working in the mini-14? If they narrow the mag well neither hi-caps, nor any 5 rounders that fit in the old guns will work so now they will have to carry two styles of 5 round mags.
I'll have to remember to get my mitts on a new Mini 14 when I'm at the funstore tomorrow and check. (doesn't everyone start out a long holiday weekend at the gun store?  )

I believe glock did the same thing with their second generation guns.

I've got a third generation G19 and my preban +2 mag fits just fine, thank you very much. |

 I've got a fairly new Glock 21 with the finger grooves and light rail and it takes hi caps fine.Anyway, I've never heard of this website before, but they are giving away a Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen-www.perfectunion.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1247 |

I have a 186 series that the hi-caps fit. I'll trade even for a bushmaster, olympic, or colt pre-ban ;)
I'm wondering if the guy was actually giving the kid mini-14 mags to try, or if he had a used rifle he wanted to get rid of ;) |

I first ran into this about a year ago. I stopped by a gun shop and the owner showed me this problem also. We even had Ruger hicaps and they didn't fit either!
I posted something about it at the time and the only thing I got as far as a answer was, possibly a poorly made mag well. |
