Thread: Ruger Mini 14 make over

Update from the weekend:-



The Ruger is nice and easy to break down into parts




The centre bush is the standard gas bushing. It has now had a 3/32" spring roll pin inserted into it to reduce the gas flow. Yes it was a prick to fit.
The combo allen key/socket on the right was made up so that the gas block bolts could be torqued up equally. For future reference its a 9/64" allen key.



Rifle waiting as the receiver bedding sets.
Note the new short recrowned barrel at a smidgen under 15".

Will steal the Hawke airgun scope of a .22 here to use as the scope.
I now just need to be patient as I wait for the parts from the States, and remember how the rifle goes back together
