Mini 14 rifles are infamous for their poor accuracy. Even the target model only offers 1 MOA with a barrel tuner. Accuracy Systems sell custom mini 14 rifles that shoot sub MOA.

This of course comes at a price. The “Ultra Match Premium Air Gauged Barrel (Stainless steel) Complete Package” costs $799.95. And you need to supply the rifle! On the positive side it appears you can choose a caliber:

1. 416 Stainless steel air gauged barrel
2. Barrel diameters- 1″ Bull, .875″ Varmint, .750″ medium and .625″
3. Length from 16″ to 24″
4. Twist rate to be determined by us depending on the weight & caliber of bullet. Finish on barrel satin matte or brushed.
5. 3 point steel bedding pillars
6. New operating rod where needed or upgrade yours
7. True bolt & action if needed
8. 3.5# match trigger with set and over travel if needed.
9. New over sized hand guard to fit thicker barrel
10. New gas block, sling swivel, gas pipe and operating rod cup bushing
11. Sub MOA accuracy guarantee ( 1.040″ is a MOA) Selected Ammo
12. Calibers available @ this price. .223 Rem., .222 Rem, .204 Ruger, 6mm X .223, .17 Rem. Others call for pricing.

    It amazes me that Ruger dropped the ball on the Mini-14; by offering it with a decent barrel they could have sewn up the civilian/LEO market long before the AR-15 became the rifle of choice for shooters. It already has the Garand action to provide fool-proof reliability and if it had built a reputation as an accurate weapon to boot, shooters would have come out in droves for it. And I suspect that the Troy Industries style of stocks for the big brother M14 would have been on the market and commonplace long before now.

    As it is, Ruger still doesn’t seem to get it- the sliding barrel weight seems to me to be a shoddy, second-hand solution to the problem. I hear that they have a kind of wizard called an engineer these days who are able to fix the problems that mechanical devices have. Perhaps Ruger should employ one or two of them?

    BTW, there’s an outfit called Accu-Strut who make a cheaper alternative to the solution- essentially two barrel clamps joined by a bar of metal. It draws heat away from the barrel and adds stiffness.

    I agree with you 100%.

    The same goes for the 10/22. Sure you can customize it, but why not make it more accurate out of the box. A lightened trigger and removal of the barrel band would go a long way.

    Thanks for that Accu-Strut link. An interesting product.

    I did stumble across a link at a gun forum (forget which one now) where a guy had simply made his own Accu-Strut- using aluminium clamps to maximise the heat draw from the barrel and with a Surefire flashlight in place of the bar.

    As Ruger seems unable to grasp the potential of a fixed Mini-14, I keep hoping that Springfield Armory will- and bring out a scaled down M1A in 5.56mm or 6.5 Grendel (and a Mini-Garand to go with them). Classic firearms in a slightly smaller package firing cheaper and more controllable ammo. What’s not to like?

    I’ve got to say that I think a Springer SOCOM in 5.56mm would be a good seller.

    That interesting. Thanks Jay.

    I have often thought about a scaled down m14. What would be even better would be a scaled up M1 carbine :) An M1 in 5.56 or 6.8 would be great!

    A mini-14 is NOT a target rifle. It is a plinking and self defense gun. If you really need a target gun then buy a bolt action in a target caliber.

    Hi, I’m a slightly unsteady 67 year old shooter. Had a trigger job on the Mini-14 which helped some but the ACCU-Strut SOCOM model really gave me tight groups. After 27 rounds the groups were 1″-2″. Have a high mount scope and cheekpiece to get my eyeball up to the scope. Modified a laser cartridge boresighter to run off AA batteries as the little (3 at $5 a pop) batteries that fit in it gave out too quickly. Jere

    amazing,you read my mind on both the ruger and springfield comments.however,i would also like to see some atention given to 6mmx45 cartrige.wich is just a necked up .223 and would work great in either rifle.there is or was a company in texas building mini 14s in this cal.

  • Don Owens

    I keep wondering about an Accurized Mini 6.8 or .450 Bushmaster. I believe either one would make a fine 300 yard deer rifle and can you picture a SWAT team shooting .450 Bushmaster in an urban rescue setting.

    Why the double fires in the video? Are ther any legal problems with this?
