At SHOT Show 2024, Ruger has reintroduced a classic design with the addition of a folding stock Mini 14 rifle to their lineup. This new offering caters to enthusiasts of traditional aesthetics, equipped with the A-TM stock crafted by Samson Manufacturing.

Another notable aspect of this rifle is the front sight’s integral bayonet lug, adding to the rifle’s utilitarian aspects. This detail is not only a nod to the rifle’s storied past but also provides practicality for those who may appreciate the historical significance or potential use of a bayonet.

The company has already started shipping this model to retailers, making it available to customers seeking a blend of nostalgia and performance in their firearms.
