One of my brothers-in-law went with me and took his AR in the same caliber. By the time we returned to Pocatello, my brother in law was pretty impressed with the quick-to-the-shoulder, easy handling and accuracy of the Ruger, having asked to shoot it several times while we were hunting on the property.
A couple of years later, I bought an AR and the Colt four-power telescopic sight that fit in the handle of the AR while still letting the shooter use the iron sights that came with the rifle. The AR was designed for the hotter military specs 5.
As soon as we visited Idaho again that next summer, my brother-in-law told me that he had sold his AR and bought a Ruger Mini 14 like mine because he thought it was more accurate than the AR I decided that it would be a bad idea to let him know that I now owned an AR with telescopic sight and felt that it was more accurate than the majority of shooters and an excellent tool for hunting coyotes and Texas white-tail deer, which sometimes weigh as much as 90 pounds.
Piston Operation — The fixed gas piston system used in the Mini 14, based on the M1 Garand, is cleaner and more efficient than the direct impingement action typically used in the AR 15 platform.
This feature leads to a cleaner running rifle with less fouling and jamming in the Mini 14 than the AR He was right. The Mini had an effective range of yards, a distance primarily dictated by the ballistic performance of its ammunition.
The most accurate factory ammo I have found for my 5. You can also try the Hornady 5. They also make. Yes, the mini 14 can fire 5.
Although older minis are marked. The mini 14 Target model is NOT rated for 5. Chambered for the popular. With its signature long, rounded front sight, the Mini was compact enough to carry around the farm, or ride in the truck while doing chores. The main difference is the receivers. The Mini has a rear sight that resembles the sight found on an M1 Garand or M14 and no easy way to mount a scope without additional hardware. The Mini ranch rifle has a Lyman style dovetail peep sight and details in the top of the receiver to accept Ruger scope rings.
Can you shoot 5. Do not shoot 5. If you fire 5. More likely, the excess pressure levels will damage the rifle itself or blow the primer out of the primer pocket into the internal workings of the rifle.
So, if you observe any signs of excess pressure like blown, cratered, or flattened primers , stop shooting that ammunition in your rifle immediately. First, find out if your rifle or handgun is a. On AR rifles or carbines, look on the top of the barrel near the muzzle. On most other firearms like bolt action rifles , look on the receiver or the side of the barrel near the chamber.
Unfortunately, not all 5. Until then, it is best to only fire. Due to its roots as a military cartridge, there is a lot of surplus military ammunition in 5. If you are still not sure after looking at the headstamp, treat the ammunition as 5. What about. As long as it is built to the appropriate specifications using a good reamer and is in good overall condition, the Wylde chambers originally designed by Bill Wylde are also safe to use both. What about 5. That said, the AR is also probably more functional.
The s pickup will have a lot more character, but the brand new pickup will have features like Bluetooth that you can hook your smartphone into. The AR uses a push-button-style magazine release located on the right-hand side of the receiver. You can reach this with your trigger finger, and the magazine will normally drop free. The downsides of this design are, it can be easy to over insert a magazine into the AR, or the magazine might not actually be locked in place. This release is completely ambidextrous and easy to use for most users.
You have to take your support hand and use your thumb to pull the magazine out of the weapon. Just pressing the paddle release will drop the magazine free in most cases.
The main reason is Ruger is the only manufacturer of the Mini, while the AR is manufactured by many. The parts seem well-made, with a few chintzy things like the sheet metal magazine release or the bolt hold open plunger. The AR has a vast price range and a large variety of manufacturers who employ different techniques.
Some are built to be the lowest price possible, while others focus on being the most beautiful rifle made. Other rifles are made specifically to be the lightest gun the manufacturer can produce, and some are built to be the most accurate. Depending on the AR you buy will depend on the quality you get, whereas the Ruger Mini, on average, will be about on par with most ARs. It definitely seems mass manufactured. An age-old argument was the AR is not a very reliable weapon, and in some cases that holds true.
The Mini has an open action. That open action could allow a lot of dirt and debris to get into the firearm, whereas the AR is essentially a sealed action. With the AR the dust cover keeps a lot of stuff out, and even though some modern ARs do not have dust covers the system still remains relatively sealed. Look at the charging handle design and everything about it. The only place for dust and debris to breathe to get into the AR is either really small holes around the charging handle, the trigger opening, or the muzzle itself.
The one big hole that things can get in is the ejection port. If dust and debris get into that hole it could cause problems with the trigger mechanism, causing the gun to fail. When it comes to just general use and shooting, both of these guns will likely serve you well and be plenty reliable, but in extreme circumstances, the sealed design of the AR is a big advantage.
Every part on the AR has an aftermarket part option. It is the most popular gun in modern history, after all. With only a few aftermarket magazines and some optics-mounting options, you will not find much else for Mini There are all different types of handguards and overall setups for the AR, some of which lend themselves to being more accessorized than others.
