Hello gentlemen,

 

I am confused here, maybe someone with more active brain cells may have an answer for me.

 

Is a regular wooden stock Ruger Mini 14 legal in NJ ?

 

I know the folding stock models are banned, but what about a regular type ranch rifle.

 

Any information you have to enlighten me will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Bill

Yes they are legal. Here is one for sale in the marketplace.

Yes perfectly legal however I don't know why anyone would buy one. The SS Ranch rifle I had worked perfectly but was less accurate then an AK.

I would agree with you about accuracy with the older Minis (I had one) Mauser but Ruger has made some good improvements. I have a new 580 series and the new barrel is substantially heavier. I've seen video of the older skinny barrels waving like a noodle when hot on high-speed video. Not exactly a target rifle, but my new one is much better than my old 180 series.

If you mount a scope using the rings come with the mini, the scope will knock the some brass back into the gun cause jams. Other than that, it works great for all kind of ammos.
