Hello and welcome to our Ruger Mini conversion page. This page is long but filled with a lot of information about our accuracy conversions. Back in the 90’s when we started, we made it our goal to achieve the most accurate Mini conversions on the planet, bar none. We saw what other companies had to offer and thought to our self’s, we can do better. This didn't go over well with some companies, as you can see in their adverse advertising. We will be up front with you. We are not cheap! If you want a cheap conversion remember you get what you pay for. Do you want a Smith that does a few Mini’s a year with a prefabricated barrel, then installs the barrel and hopes it delivers the accuracy? Or do you want a company that makes the Mini their business and guarantees accuracy?! Cheap is not always better when it comes to accuracy. We know what the Mini’s weaknesses are through trial and error, you can't cut corners when it comes to accuracy! The Mini is well built and is worth every penny you spend with us to upgrade the rifle to match grade accuracy. We will review some comparisons between the popular AR 15 system and the Mini 14® system below.
The Mini 14® rifle system is a close copy of the Grand’s receiver, bolt and trigger group system. I don't have to tell you that it ends there, but they are still very similar. The Mini is a very tough, well built system as it is. It will take all the abuse you can dish out and still be depended on to function when you need it. Here is a quote from General George Patton:"The M1 is the best battle weapon ever developed." The outcome of WW 2 proves this rifle to be battle worthy. That is also why even to this very day our troops in Iraq & Afghanistan prefer the dependability of the M14 which is the M1's predecessor over the AR 15! But you say to yourself, why put $600 plus dollars into a rifle I only paid $500 for. Well below are some good reasons. Not to mention, have you priced a new M14 lately? Yes, it does shoot a 308 Winchester compared to a 223 Remington. But it also weighs more, cost more and doesn't come with an accuracy guarantee unless you pay extra. Don't feel stuck with the 223 caliber either, we do offer other calibers to suit your needs.
MINI 14 & AR15 Comparisons
Mini 14 - No hot gases are dumped into the bolt. So the bolt is not over come by excessive heat! Also there is no carbon to build up and lock up the bolt!
AR15 - Hot gases are dumped into the bolt to say the least and carbon will build up if not regularly cleaned causing a malfunction and or cease to operate condition.
Mini 14 - All steel receiver and case hardened to a thickness of at least .020"
AR15 - 75% aluminum alloy with the critical parts steel
Mini 14 - Open bolt design is a close copy of the M14. The open bolt is very forgiving when it comes to dirt, dust or sand. The rifle clean or dirty just keeps ticking and ticking.
AR 15- Closed bolt design. Just ask our troops about the plastic baggies they need to use to keep the sand from jamming up there rifles.
Mini 14 - Self cleaning gas system no buffer tube to collect moisture or dirt and lock up the buffer system.
AR 15- Must be field stripped to clean trigger compartment, Buffer system, Bolt & carrier and gas tube system.
Mini 14 - compact, versatile, and doesn't take up much space.
AR15 - Large bulky
Mini 14 - Field strips in seconds. Pop the trigger guard and the rifle practically dismantles it self.
AR 15- Definitely slower to disassemble.
Mini 14 - Now here the AR has an advantage over the Mini. Out of the box ACCURACY!
AR 15 - Out of the box ACCURACY!
Mini 14 - But here we can help! We can turn your Mini 14 into a rifle that will shoot right next to an AR15 after one of our conversions is completed. Now that we have discussed the pros and cons of the rifles you would have to say the Mini definitely has some advantages and we can take care of the disadvantages!
