Details and Specifications
This brainchild of Bill Ruger hails from the enduring designs of John C. Garand, and is one of the most popular utility rifles ever produced in the USA. Now you can upgrade yours to a scout format that will accept the latest technology available in modern sight systems, lasers, tactical flashlights, etc.
FOUR MODELS are available that cover almost every version of Mini-14 ever made.
The ORIGINAL Mini-Scout-Mount™14 fits every serial number range manufactured prior to 2007 (before the 580 Series), including Ranch Rifles and AC556. These are available in Flat Black and Stainless Finish (Clear) anodized. There is even one for the early GB Side-Folding stock with the forward sling swivel mounted on the side of the gas block.
The NEW Mini-Scout-Mount™III will fit all three caliber versions of the 580 and up series (.223, 6.8spc, and 7.62x39) with the heavier “flanged” barrel. It will also fit the Target Models with barrel tuners.
