Ruger Mini-14

History of the Ruger Mini-14

The Ruger Mini-14 is based on the successful WWII M1 "Garand" infantry service rifle.

Later production models feature new hardwood stocks and stock pads similar to traditional rifles, while other shapes also support adjustable stocks.

In Hollywood, the Ruger Mini-14 is a regular feature in the short-lived action series A-Team, where the four heroes always seem to rely on guns in combat scenes. In fact, the Mini-14 was chosen for its reliability when firing blanks.
