The Mini-14 Ranch Rifle uses a semi-automatic, fixed-piston gas system with a rotating bolt. The Garand-style action employs a self-cleaning moving gas cylinder, a design Ruger identifies for consistent function. Capacity is 5+1 with the included 5-round magazines.
The 18.5 in alloy-steel barrel is cold hammer-forged and crowned. It has a 1:9 RH twist and 6-groove rifling. This configuration is a well-established pairing for 5.56 NATO loads.
Sights include a wing-protected blade front and a ghost-ring/aperture rear that is adjustable for windage and elevation. Integral scope bases are machined into the receiver, and the included Ruger rings allow straightforward scope installation.
The rifle is built on a blued alloy-steel receiver and finished to match the barrel. The hardwood stock has a straight comb, fixed sling swivels, and a recoil pad, with a ventilated polymer upper handguard. Length of pull is 13.75 in.
Overall length is approximately 38 in, and the factory weight is about 7 lb. This example aligns with Ruger catalog number 05801 and represents the current production configuration of the Mini-14 Ranch Rifle.
