Dont buy any aftermarket mags. CDNN has factory 20 rounders for 25 bucks. Unless you can find a real thermold.

As for the rest, an Ultimak rail and Accu-Strut usually solve most of the accuracy problem. I cut my barrel down and permanently mounted a Choate M14 style flash hider/sight to get an overall 16". Its still not sub moa, but its a heck of a lot better. Who needs heavy barrels anyways, their just too... heavy

My mini has a 1/7" twist, so I have to shoot something a little heavier. I can get 1.5" groups with reloaded match ammo my friend loaded for me. Not too bad, plus the strut and rail look sweet!

Use the factory Ruger mags. They have come down a lot in price.

For other mods, check this site. It's full of great Mini-14 info.

Greatwest Gunsmithing in Salem AKA "Gundoc" on the above referenced forum did wonders for my Mini. The Ultimak Rail along with a Bedding job and strut should provide teh accuracy improvements your loooking for. IMO the Promag Mags are equivilent to the factory mags. I cannot tell the difference in either appearance or performance. The 20 rounders that is. Good Luck.

John "Gundoc" shut down and moved out of state a year+ or so ago. The last I heard, he had not yet opened his new shop in Montana (at least I think it was Montanta). You can check up on him on Perfect Union where he is a supersponsor with an international following. He worked on a few of my Mini's, and it is an understatement to say he is a magician with them. John is a top-of-the line individual, also.

Update: He is open for business in Helena, MT. I should have checked before responding the firstime.
