Snake, does the MO-ROD work as well as the accu-strut?

I love the ruger minis, they are handy little rifles and fun to build up. I have a mini14 and a mini30 and right now they are my favorite pets

The 14 is wearing ruger factory walnut, a choate machine & tool M1A style front sight/flashhider and a 30mm Millett Reddot sight, its a 195 prefix.

The 30 is wearing a Hogue O/M stock and a Redfield revolution 2-7X33 with accu-range reticle, its a 581 prefix.

Both have recoil buffers installed and smooth trigger jobs, Im still waiting on the accu-struts to come back into stock so I can fit one to each rifle.

NICE looking rifle's for sure! Always wanted one but just never "sprang" for one as of yet...always heard nothing but good from them.

JLA, I like the Mo-Rod and yes it does an excellent job without adding a ton of weight to the gun. It's all aluminum and adds only about 6.6 oz's. The best thing it does is it elminates the first round flyer that's always an inch or so off the POA and it eliminates the Mini's tendency to string rounds after it begins to heat-up under rapid fire. Putting the Mo-Rod on cut my groups in half taking it down from about 4" at 100 yards to 2".

Sweet! I might order a couple seein how the accu-struts are out of stock

I know, its an old thread. BUT, i joined the mini club a few weeks ago Pretty happy although took me forever to decide which 223/5.56 rifle to go for. This site helped me tremendously in making my decision. Thanks for all the info guys.

It is an old thread, and I have since un-joined the mini club.

What?! No more Mini? Say it ain't so.

[JLA]

It is so. I traded away the mini 30 shortly after this thread was started and I sold the kidmini to a good friend of mine a couple months ago. Im sure ill get more in the future..

I would like to be part of the club, Here's a picture of mine. Mini 30 on top and mini 14 on the bottom. I'm not sure why the 14 would have a recoil pad and the 30 wouldn't.

Funny stuff, the butt pad on the rear of the Mini-14 you have pictured there is an aftermarket item that isn't really for recoil reduction, but rather to stretch out the wood stocked Mini's rather short length-of-pull (LOP). Plus it's "tacticool".

Not sure what mini means, but they're all a bunch of sweet looking guns.
I'm assuming mini means smaller than another model of the same gun.

[JLA]

mini 14 is the model of ruger rifle and yes it is essentially a mini M14 (M1A)

TY.

They are neet little ranch carbines and very handy, like a M1 carbine chambered for .223.. But they are nowhere near as accurate as a good M1A.

And the mini 30s are excellent hog rifles. And they also have a fairly rare mini 6.8 in 6.8SPC.

I had to help a guy at the range remove a ruptured cartridge from his Mini the other day. It was a steel cased Wolf .223 and it was a bear to get out but I did. I would not advise using steel cased ammo in a Mini.

[JLA]

I dont advise using steel cased ammo in anything with a chamber.
