Ok. I will be taking a 3 day carbine course with EAG tactical this summer - the catch is I have to shoot the whole course with a Mini-14.

 

What options do I have to mount a RDS, white light, and 2 point sling. It is an older Mini-14

( most likely made prior to 1995) if that matters with a standard wood stock.

 

I am for quality gear that will hold up to hard use and abuse.

 

I am familiar with the platform but unfamiliar with accessories and options. Any help/tips would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Did you lose a bet?

 

Ruger has a tactical model which has a 1913 section at 12, 3, 6, and 9. It would allow you to use an AR-type stock and I believe has a sling loop at the front of the handguard. You could put a stock on that has a QD point for the other end of the stock. I suppose if you could source that chassis, that would be an option. But seriously...did you a lose a bet??

I have access to 2 stock mini-14s so I am not buying a new version - I just want to put a RDS (either an Aimpoint PRO or Insight MRDS), a light, and rig a sling. I have seen a ways to do this but mostly with junky gear from a cheaper than dirt catalog. Looking for better ideas and don't want to reinvent the wheel. I am hoping someone has researched this stuff already.

 

No, I didn't lose a bet

 

Didn't you hear? They are the new hotness

that's me in the blue and Pat in the tan

Bullshit. Pat ain't that tall.

Nah Hannibal isn't nearly angry enough lol

Bullshit. Pat ain't that tall.

Neither is HE

A couple options I found are insanely expensive. I don't think you want to spend $600 on a chassis, do you?

I have a tactical model sitting in the safe collecting dust. PM me maybe I can help you out for the course. Looks just like this one.

No, I was looking for like a scout rail or something. It will be a work gun and not mine, so I don't want to spend too much.

Thanks Deer Slayer. I would like to keep the wood standard stock without a pistol grip though. I think it will give better data for why I am doing it.

I have a regular wood stock ranch rifle as well. But no accessories on it only iron sights, actually just picked it up last week. I'm pretty sure UTG makes a bolt on tri rail for it. I've seen one somewhere before.

 

Like this one?

 

Something like this:

 

Or this:

 

But I can't find these rails....

 

Most of the stuff is for the Ranch version only.....

Here's a few, most seem to be for the Ranch rifle though.

This is supposed to fit ranch and standard models: http://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/rings-mounts-amp-bases/rifle-bases/mini-14-scout-mount-sku100000960-17396-41528.aspx

 

You could get an RDS on there and a light in a HSP Thorntail.

 

GG&G has this: http://www.gggaz.com/ruger-mini-14-ranch-rifle-scope-mounts.html

 

But that wouldn't help you get a light mounted.

Ranch rifle only. Exactly what I keep getting....

That ultimak rail looks like the answer! Thanks

HE try. XS sight company I bought one of their rails for a ruger scout rifle and I believe they have one for the ruger mini 14, price was not to bad and they are good quality. May even give an LEO discount. Good luck .

now i want one of these.  

now i want one of these.

Don't do it unless you're willing to buy more than one. They're addicting, I have 4 now lol... for some reason I have a soft spot for these rifles, probably since I can't own an M1Carbine. Next best thing I guess...

Show up with this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOL, the 10/22 has all the good stocks

Makes me want to dress up my ranch model.
