I guess I should start with why I got a Ruger Mini 1. There are several reasons for me. I wanted something in the. I wanted something I could coyote hunt with, and because all you AR owners in the states seem to be having so much fun with the. For me though, an AR 1. We have a class of weapons known as restricted in Canada, and the AR 1. That means I couldnt take my AR out in the field and hunt with. I could only double lock it while transporting it to an approved range and only with something called an ATT, or authorization to transport. Not to mention that we still have a registry for restricted weapons, but out long gun registry was scrapped. I got my gun license and my first rifle just after the long gun registry was scrapped so my name appears on none of the old copies, and I want it to stay that way. For non restricted long guns in. There was the Kel Tec SU 1. Remington pump. 2. Shade 3D Keygen Generator. We are Sturm, Ruger Company Certified to work on your Ruger Mini 14 30 Rifles. You will no longer need to send your rifle to Ruger for restricted factory work. Not too long ago M. D. asked the group if he could get some product reviews, and he had a list of suggestions for review. On the list was the Ruger Mini14 ranch rifle. Ruger Rifle Serial Number Search' title='Ruger Rifle Serial Number Search' />I believe you could get a VZ 5. I wanted a semi auto, so the Remington was out. I was leaning towards the Kel Tec SU 1. VZ 5. 8 for the reason they took AR magazines you could get a magwell adapter for the VZ and in Canada theres a loophole where as long as a magazine is labeled pistol you can use a 1. In the end, though, I went with the mini for two reasons Reliability was not in question with the mini 1. They are many things, and reliable is one of them. The Kel Tec received mixed reviews on quality and longevity and I just havent seen too many VZs around. The pedigree of the Mini 1. The first time I ever laid eyes on an M1 Garand I fell in love. My love continued to the M1. M1 and M1. 4 just in a scaled down and smaller caliber means I love the mini 1. Besides, John Garand was a Canadian, and you got to have some national pride. Right So, if any of you dont know what a Ruger Mini 1. So, exactly how does the mini 1. Ruger Mini 1. 4 Ranch Rifle Sights One of the things with the new mini is it has new sights, so I thought Id talk about them. It comes with a non adjustable front sight and an adjustable peephole rear sight. Both sights have blades on either side to protect them from glare. Im just guessing at that function, but it seems reasonable. Now, when they work, they work fantastic. But then they dont work so well. Heres a tip if you decide to buy this rifle. The rear sights will shake itself loose in less than 5. Its mounted on a post and secured by one bolt. It will shake itself to the right or left and thats where youll shoot. The first thing you need to do is remove the screw takes an Allen key, put a dab of the blue lock tight on it not the red stuff, unless you want trouble then tighten it back down. Once the lock tight sets you wont have that issue. The sights also have windage adjustability with screws on either side of the post that uses the same size Allen key as the securing bolt. To adjust left or right you must adjust BOTH screws otherwise it will leave a gap and the sight will shake itself around when firing. Its a good idea if you want it right in the middle to ensure you snug up both screws or it will shift on you with the vibration of shooting. I will make a note on the scope mount, as you can see I do use a scope. I like the scope mounts and included scope rings. Each scope mount has a tab that goes into a notch in the provided mounts, making a very solid and secure mount. Accuracy Its not a tack driver. It never was a tack driver. For anyone who buys this thing and then is upset they cant hit the middle of the target at 1. The Ruger Mini 1. Its made to be a low maintenance reliable gun that you carry around with you in your pick up truck around the farm in case some varmints need killing. I would say though, its more accurate than just that. I took a 5. 0 yard pistol target and put it at 1. I sighted my scope in. I sighted the scope in and then put a fresh target at 1. Two of the 1. 0 hit right in the middle of the target, the rest were scattered around the middle more low than high but Id say the whole group was about 2. Sorry, I did not take a picture to show you, but I can say that any of those shots would have been in the kill zone of coyote, and definitely a deer. So sure, its not a tack driver, but its plenty accurate, more than enough, anyway. Stock and Construction The stock of this particular unit is made of a black polymer. You can also get wood if you like. The polymer is light but I feel its very strong, and it does not feel cheap at all like a Remington 5. Kel Tec. I guess there is a huge difference between polymer and plastic. Teoria Del Tutto Pdf Files. Ive had it knocking about the woods on many occasions and it still looks new. The ergonomics are good, the rifle stock fits nicely in my hand and I get a proper cheek weld when sighting down the iron sights. This may change with a very large or very small person. Im about average height and build and I feel they did a very good job with ergonomics for the majority of people. You can get a blued stock or a stainless steel. I really like the stainless steel. If TSHTF when gun oil and supplies are low, stainless will resist rust much better in the absence of all the awesome gun cleaning and gun oils we have access to now. Sure, its shiny and reflective, but you can easily take care of that with some dirt if you really needed to. The gun easily comes apart by flipping it over, putting a screwdriver or punch in the hole in the trigger guard and pushing up. The trigger group comes out and then you can simply remove the stock from the gun. Its not complicated inside but I will advise being careful when taking it apart. There is a large return spring along the underside and when you take it out, the part that holds it in thats closest to the trigger assembly is held in by a loose pin. Turn the receiver either way and itll come out and youll lose it and you kind of need that little loose pin to keep your spring in place. Magazines I would absolutely love it if Ruger used AR mags. But, they dont. They use proprietary magazines. In Canada, they are almost impossible to find in anything other than the factory 5 round configurations. Not that it really matters, as we can only put 5 rounds in a semi auto mag at a time up here. I do have a couple of factory 2. TSHTF and WROL but they were 5. There is only one supplier that regularly gets these magazines, and they get a shipment in about 3 or 4 times a year and the magazines are sold out within a day or two. Also, the magazines are a bit of a pain. You have to rock them in like an AR mag but its not as smooth. Its easier with a longer mag as you can get a good grip on it. The factory 5 round disappears into the stock, which is something I actually like when shooting the rifle. Its just tricky to get them in. If you dont angle them in just so, they get stuck and then youre in for a bit of a struggle.
