Hey guys! I bought a used Mini 14 awhile back and the current synthetic stock is not in the best of shape, so I'm looking to put a new one on. I'll probably go with a basic traditional type stock, but another type did catch my eye...Would this stock be okay here in NJ?

 

 

Thanks guys!

no idea about the stock but isnt the mini 14 banned in NJ already?

The ruger K Mini is banned by name, so if I'm not mistaken, similar firearms need to comply with the substantially identical clause, which means you can only have 1 evil feature as the rifle has a detachable magazine.

 

The pistol grip is one evil feature. Does the muzzle have threads or is it designed to accept a flash suppressor?

Only the fully automatic version is banned.

The muzzle has a permanent recoil compensator on it.

Seems like it would be ok.

 

No folding stock

Pistol Grip - 1 evil feature.

No bayonet mount

No flash supressor/ no threads.

no grenade launcher

Thanks cold, that's what I was thinking too..but I figured I would run it by you folks (who know a heck of a lot more about guns than I do!) before I placed the order. I'm still kinda debating between that and just getting a new traditional stock, but at least I know I have another option now.

thanks for correcting me. I didn't know there was a full auto version

No problem man - honestly, when I first started to gain an interest in getting a Mini 14, I was kinda bummed when I saw the ban list because I thought all Mini's were banned too. I'm so glad they're not, because the Mini is such a fun gun to shoot!

can you provide any information to support that... i didn't know that..

I think the one named on the ban list is the automatic version. I could be wrong though - feel free to correct me if so! I do know the one on the ban list is the one used in the A-Team TV show...not the standard semi-auto Mini 14. I think there was another thread here on the forums discussing this.

Here are a couple that I was thinking of:

The Fully Automatic model was called the AC-556

Interesting stuff. What exactly is the one listed on the ban list then? I always thought it was just the automatic version of the Mini 14.

with all due respect.. when giving info on gun LAW, something that if handled improperly could cause incarceration, fines, and the inability to ever legally own a firearm again.. you should probably try to be more than pretty sure..

 

this is the BANNED firearm as per NJ law..

 

Ruger K-Mini-14/5 and Mini-14/5

 

and anything similar would play the evil feature parts list game..

Point well taken. Do you know what the K Mini 14/5 and the Mini 14/5 are? They certainly can't be the ones sold in virtually every NJ gun store!

 

I just wanted to know if that stock was okay! :oops:

as long as it does not have

 

bayonet lug

grenade launcher

flash hider

folding or collapsible stock

 

as pointed out.. i think you are fine... but for what its worth I am under the impression that SOME of that aftermarket stuff is junky and does not hold up well..

 

and to answer the initial question i have NO idea what models they are.. lol but they ARE in fact banned in NJ.. and of course anything "substantially" identical..

Thanks man - I appreciate your advice. I was under the FALSE impression that the one listed on the ban list was the fully automatic version. I probably picked up that notion by reading the A-Team references, haha. The stock I'm thinking of purchasing is made by Choate...I've heard good things about them, but if anyone has heard otherwise I'd definitely love some feedback.

 

I just gave Ruger a call. The one listed on the NJ ban list is the Ruger K-Mini-14/5 F and Mini-14/5 RF. The "K" refers to stainless steel. The "F" and "RF" refer to folding stocks. Based on that, it seems like stainless steel Mini's that have folding stocks are banned...would that be a fair assessment?
