Ruger is pleased to introduce the Ruger® Mini-14® with side-folding stock. This model is reminiscent of classic side-folding Mini-14 rifles originally produced in the mid-1970s. The walnut stock features a stainless side-folder made from original Ruger casting tooling and an injection molded polymer pistol grip. The threaded 16.1'' matte stainless steel barrel is fitted with a factory-installed 1/2''-28 flash suppressor. Updated to compliment the side-folding stock, this model features 1'' sling loops located on the left side of the new gas block and the rear of the stock. Other features include a ghost ring rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight with bayonet lug.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 300 AAC Blackout (300 BLK) was developed in 2009/2010 by Advanced Armament Corporation and approved by Sporting Arms and Ammunition Institute (SAAMI) in 2011. Based on the 223 Remington case necked up to 30-caliber, it was intended for the M4 Carbine and designed to function in standard AR15/M16 magazines. Thus converting an AR to 300 AAC Blackout requires nothing more than an upper receiver group. Dimensionally it is identical to the 300 Whisper, but the 300 Blackout is fully standardized. Supersonic and subsonic ammunition is manufactured, with a 125-grain bullet producing 2215 feet per second, while the subsonic load uses a heavier bullet at much lower velocity: 220-grain bullet at 1080 fps. Military applications are obvious; as a sporting cartridge performance is similar to the 7.62x39. — Craig Boddington
