What’s Included
- Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle in .223 Rem with 16 inch stainless threaded barrel, open-prong birdcage flash suppressor, right-side folding tubular metal stock, and black synthetic pistol grip
Built on the 580-series Ranch Rifle platform, this Mini-14 uses a Garand-type rotating bolt and a short-stroke gas piston system with a four-screw gas block. The right-side operating rod/charging handle reflects the rifle’s classic Mini-14 manual of arms.
The receiver and 16 inch barrel are stainless steel with a matte stainless finish, paired with a black polymer ventilated handguard. The Ranch Rifle receiver includes integral scope-ring bases for mounting rings when desired.
The barrel is threaded and fitted with an open-prong birdcage flash suppressor. Sighting is via a receiver-mounted non-folding aperture/ghost-ring rear and a wing-protected front post on a barrel band, offering a durable iron-sight setup.
The stock is a right-side folding tubular metal unit in matte stainless, matched to a black synthetic pistol grip with finger grooves. It includes molded checkering and a rubber ventilated buttpad, with a 12.75 inch length of pull.
