Ruger Mini 14 And Mini 30 Barrel Package Prices Introduction

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 when we started, we made it our goal to achieve the most accurate Mini conversions on the planet, bar none. 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 II 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 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 overcome 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 itself.
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!

Inferior Barrel Comparison

There are other companies out there that actually call this their heavy barrel..
Stay clear you are just asking to be let down.
This barrel pictured above is one that has been sent to us for a barrel conversion with our true heavy barrel. This customer's out his $350.00.
You pay for what you get. Do you really want to chance purchasing the barrel above.
Notice that where the gas block goes the barrel is very thin .562". This is a harmonic weak spot prone to barrel vibration! We do not do this.
