mini-ranch 14
The Mini-14 is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. Introduced in 1973, the design was based on the M14 rifle and is essentially a scaled-down version chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO.
Since 1973, Ruger has introduced a number of variants, including: variants chambered in both .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO, the Ranch Rifle with a civilian style rear aperture sight and integral scope ring mounts on the receiver, the Mini-14 GB with a bayonet lug and flash suppressor, variants with folding stocks, stainless steel versions of the most popular variants, a target version featuring a heavyweight barrel and barrel tuner, the Mini Thirty, which is chambered for 7.62×39mm, as well as variants chambered in 6.8mm Remington SPC and 300 AAC Blackout. The rifle is currently used by military personnel, law-enforcement and corrections personnel, and civilians in the United States and around the world.
