Thread: Ruger Mini 14 make over

This will be an interesting project, I have owned two mini 14,s. One was the early 181 series that shot dinner size groups at 100m until I had it re barrelled with a heavy barrel then the groups hovered around an inch. Still own the newer 582 series with the tapered barrel which has surprised me and shoots the PPU ammo really well holds two inch groups and some times the occasional 1 inch group. The newer model has a much better rifle style stock(wooden) and even after removing the scope and refitting using the ruger rings when I switch to iron sight shooting it returns very close to the original zero.
