[islandneartahiti]

Still looking for 10 round mag pouches, belt or vest.

I had these for my M1A magazines.
AR 10 | .308 | M1A | M14 Magazine Pouch - 10 Round

They were really nice. I put a request in for Mini 14 pouches. I'll let you know what they say.

I figured as much. Their AR15 10 round pouches will fit the mini 14 magazines

AR 15 Magazine Pouch - 10 Round

bought 1 not too long ago not my first choice but it gets the job done

Yeah I don't care for the synthetic stock, but the newer wood stocks aren't very attractive either. I may order a blued with the synthetic and get one of these walnut stocks down the line. Ruger Mini 14 30 Rifle Stocks Free Float Bedding System

great website!

What he said.

IMO the odds of a ban on AR-pattern is far more likely than one on Ruger 14.
These seem like unicorns in NY state. I've never seen an anderson available at this price? I see them online sometimes super cheap but with FFL you're still a good $80 out of pocket ?

Ha ha ha. I was selling them for $49.99 )plus tax) just before i left. And that included the transfer. .....

Rare in my neck of the woods then Though I did manage to find a source selling for $50, most want close to twice that locally.

I got one of them, kinda wish I'd grabbed a couple more but then again just how many lowers do I need?

It's not always about "need".

Miss you already @Eddie Gunks !

Is this the only compliant version..............

Need to get this before any type of ban/restriction comes into play

Just about any gun store that sells long guns carries them. It's the Ranch model you are looking for.

 

[zorro]

Just bought the Ruger Mini 14 - Ranch version in black

Went into Blue Line Tactical - didnt have it, but can order it for me - $950

Ordered online - total cost including shipping and FFL fees - $760

I have never really liked BLT (but it was open today so thought I would try!!), but their prices are simply stupid

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Congratulations on your mini14 purchase. I would recommend getting yourself a Tech Sights rear sight:Ruger Mini Rifle Sights | Tech Sights
a gas bushing set: Ruger Mini 14 30 Gas Reduction Bushing Kit Accuracy Systems Inc
a Choate handguard to replace the lawyer recommended stock one: Choate Ventilated Handguard Ruger Mini-14 Mini-30 - MPN: 07-02-04

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Also @zorro you might want to get one of these since detachable mags are something they are likely to go after. 582 or higher Ranch Rifle – Cogburn Arsenal
I have one on my mini and while not ideal and it takes some practice, it is a good way to reload.

 

[Modean]

The prices were better back in 1981 .View attachment 37445 View attachment 37445

$859 in 2018 dollars. Looks like the price hasn’t really changed.

 

[zorro]

Armed corgi - thanks for the suggestions ..........not too sure on the Cogburn though

May just stock up on a load of 10 round mags and hope they don’t get banned

I got the Cogburn both as a novelty and as an option should they ban detachable mags. I also bought an accustrut (though not necessary for the newer tapered barrels). It makes it look more M14ish and works as a heat sink.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

You know what would be cool, is a parkerized Mini14! Can they parkerize stainless steel? If they can and it isn't too expensive I would consider that for sure.

 

[Robin]

Parkerizing is illegal in New York, on the scary scale it is only one degree less the black itself. Is this, like entrapment.

Hush now.

 

[kev74]

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[Rondo223]

And no stainless does not parkerize. That is why you use stainless tanks to parkerize carbon steel parts.

 

[eris]

My mini-14 was the first rifle I ever purchased and I've never regretted it. It's blued with a wood stock, just because I like that look. I've put an Accu-Strut on it, a Harris bipod, Nikon 3-9x40 scope, and have a bunch of 30 round magazines. The only thing I don't like about it is that the magazine doesn't remove as smoothly or as quickly as I'd like. Other than that it's a fine rifle. Not as accurate or flexible as an AR-15, but more reliable.

If you get one, be aware that it throws empty cartridges very vigorously, which can annoy people to your right at a range. I have a brass catcher to help with that.

Darn! Guess there is always Aluma-Hyde II or Duracoat to get that look.

I have a black synth on blue Mini 14 and I can attest to the brass flinging! I was shooting with a friend out his garage door about 5 years back not realizing just where all the brass was going. He still comments every couple months that he is still finding my brass in the far corners of his garage!
