Built in the United States, this Mini-14 is identified as a Mini-14 Rifle in the 182-prefix line, not the later Ranch Rifle serial family. The receiver is marked "STURM, RUGER & CO., INC. / SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A." with warning text, and it shows the Ruger phoenix-style emblem.
The action is gas-operated with a fixed-piston system and a Garand-style rotating bolt. This configuration is paired with an 18.5in barrel and a right-side ejection port.
Furniture is a straight-comb sporting profile hardwood stock finished in high-gloss clear, with no pistol-grip configuration. Length of pull is listed at 12.5.
Sighting equipment consists of iron sights with a fixed front blade-style sight on a front sight base and a receiver-mounted rear sight assembly. A black receiver-top rail/base is installed for mounting compatible optics.
This example shows no flash suppressor and no visible external muzzle threads. It ships with a 5+1 capacity setup using the included 5-round magazine.
