Ruger Mini-14 186 Series Stainless .223 Rem Semi-Auto Rifle, 18.5 Inch Barrel (1992)
This Ruger Mini-14 186 Series is a 1992-production, standard (non-GB, non-Ranch) configuration with a stainless steel receiver, bolt, barrel, gas block, and trigger guard assembly. It features the classic Garand-style, fixed-piston, rotating-bolt action, an unthreaded 18.5 inch stainless barrel, and iron sights. The rifle is in very good overall condition with an excellent, mirror-bright bore, and comes with a 5-round steel magazine and an installed leather sling.
Built in the United States and receiver-marked "RUGER MINI-14 .223 CAL." and "STURM, RUGER & CO., INC., SOUTHPORT, CONN., U.S.A.", this 186 Series example presents the four-screw gas block and the clean lines of the standard Mini-14 layout. Its hardwood stock with straight comb and factory sling swivels pairs with a ventilated polymer upper handguard for a traditional, durable setup.
The stainless construction extends across key components for uniform durability and a consistent stainless finish. The barrel is unthreaded and measures 18.5 inches. A black polymer buttplate caps the stock for a secure shoulder interface, and the 12.5 inch length of pull supports straightforward handling.
The action is Ruger’s gas-operated, Garand-style system with a fixed piston and rotating bolt. Sighting is via a wing-protected front post and a receiver-mounted adjustable aperture rear sight for a clean, rugged iron-sight picture. Capacity is 5+1 with the included magazine.
This rifle includes a steel 5-round detachable box magazine for the Mini-14 platform and an installed leather sling, making it ready for the range with classic Mini-14 ergonomics and operation.
