Ruger ~ Mini-14 ~ .223 REM

The Mini-14 is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. Introduced in 1973, the design was outwardly similar to the M14 rifle and is, in appearance, a scaled-down version chambered in .223 REM, though with its own gas system design. The Mini-14 rifle has an investment-cast, heat-treated receiver and is mechanically similar to the M1 rifle in the receiver area, but with a self-cleaning, fixed-piston gas system. A wide range of aftermarket accessories are available for the Mini-14, including numerous stocks, magazines, and Weaver and Picatinny rail mounts. This example is in very good shape and shows little use. It comes with one magazine and has a sling attached. These are nice little rifle with a strong following.
