Ruger Mini-14 Tactical 5.56 NATO Rifle

Ruger Mini-14 Tactical: American Reliability Meets Modern Ergonomics

The Ruger Mini-14 Tactical represents the evolution of one of America's most trusted rifle designs. Built on the proven Garand-style action that has served shooters for generations, this 5.56 NATO carbine combines classic reliability with modern tactical features.

Proven Action and Reliability

The Mini-14 Tactical employs a fixed-piston gas system with a self-cleaning moving gas cylinder—a design that delivers unparalleled reliability under harsh operating conditions. The breech bolt locking system is simple, rugged, and time-tested. This isn't a rifle that requires constant maintenance; it's built to run.

Precision and Accuracy

• Cold hammer-forged barrel with ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity
• 16.12" barrel with 1/2"-28 thread pattern and factory-installed flash suppressor
• 1:9" right-hand twist optimized for 5.56 NATO ammunition
• Integral scope mounts machined directly into the solid steel receiver—no separate rails to loosen or shift

Tactical Features

The rifle ships with an ATI Strikeforce 6-position collapsible and folding stock, allowing you to adjust length of pull from 11.19" to 14.56" or fold the stock for compact storage and transport. The ghost ring rear aperture sight and protected blade front sight provide a reliable, non-glare sighting system suitable for both precision work and rapid engagement.
