I have a 187 series that is a blued version of your gun. I'm curious when it was made?

I have a model 180 made in 1976. It's made........rate of twist for a 55 grain bullet. I increased my groups by tightening the bedding. Instead of glass bedding i used elecrical tape. Remove the wood stock and run one band of tape at the points of the stock that touch rifle. Reassemble. If there is any looseness disassemble and lay another layer of tape. Reassemble. I found two layers of tape was a good fit. Three layers was too tight. The tapered barrel makes for poor groups due to vibrations and heat. Make your own barrel dampener. Buy two clamps made to hang accessories on a barrel. Buy a metal pipe about 6 inches long the same diameter to fit the clamps. I found the weight of the pipe alone worked for me. If u need more weight u could pack the pipe with sand or clay. Next i made a heat sink to help cool the barrel. I bought a roll of copper strapping from the auto store. I cut two pieces and coiled them to about one inch in diameter. I placed one coil on either side of the fitting on the barrel that holds the gas port that draws gas from the cartride to push the action open after each shot. I filed and ground each coil to contact as much of the fitting as possible. This contact will draw heat rrom the steel......faster than air cool. I went to a hobby store and found a recangular steel box that can go around a coil and half of the fitting and barrel. The box is cut length wise. I drill d a hole thru each coil and the box. A screw and nut clamp the coils against the gun. I painted the box and the pipe buffer black and the gun looks cool. I have added about two pounds to the gun.......muzzle end. I shoot 2 min of angle at 100 yards using winchestet 55 grain 5.56 ammo.....

Improving the accuracy is much easier: ua-cam.com/video/MHoLRNNQ8mY/v-deo.html

ammunition is important. the twist rate demands heavier bullets. 1 n 7

All you need now is a cigar

It’s closer to a beretta M1934

As you already have everything you need but a barrel and ammo for 429DE... if you don't care to add to your set, I understand that, but I do think you should complete it with a 429 barrel. 429 is a really fast and accurate round in either loading. As far as the 357 Magtech ammo... it doesn't normally cycle well at all in a stock Desert Eagle. I test most commercial ammunition in all Desert Eagle calibers for compatibility in Israeli and US made DE's. That was excellent shooting at long range. I too, test out to 300 yards, but generally a 175y silhouette is about it for my eyes and skill. Thank you for the interesting video. MrBlackCat

WTF..!!

I bought the same stock.......vast improvement

Hows the archangel mags been holding up? I got one but dont run it that often

lol very funny review...so...how high would you go for this odd snake charmer

I have a wood stock 183 series, I just ordered an accu strut for it. Should I also mess with recoil spring and gas block? I have yet to shoot it but I don’t want to be disappointed

PIGmented

In my opinion, if ruger wants to sell more minis, They need to fix the magazine problem. The new ruger Americans in 556 can use an ar mag release because of a modification to the stock. It doesn't seem unreasonable to think they could do it with Minor retooling. I love the mini, but don't have one yet. If I could get a one on a good deal, I would, but right now they're way expensive.

those 75 gr bullets won't stabilize with a 1-9" twist. Why would you conduct accuracy tests using bullets that won't stabilize?

Bottom line, in terms of accuracy, Mini 14s don’t shoot worth a shit. This is pitiful, I mean pitiful accuracy.

A pork chop and a rasher of bacon landed on my windshield.

I’ve had a bunch of Weber’s and I love them, but they don’t last for many years, with heavy use, in my experience. Having said that, the Nomad, is extremely expensive, and you can replace a lot of Weber’s, for the price of one Nomad

Mini 14 Mini 30

Nomad has a lifetime warranty and is made out of aluminum. Aluminum bodies make all the difference. This makes the grill more fuel efficient and it won’t rust on you. The price on the Weber is nice, but in the long run the nomand is the winner

She's more of a man than me! Lol great job!

The commentary was smooth😎

Damn I'm in love if they were open now they would be rich

I’ve seen some amateur videos on UA-cam…this takes the cake.

So you would recommend a wood stock over the plastic?

Aguila or Armscore Ammo?

The only problem I've noticed with a scope on it. There's sometimes the Shell ejecting? Hits The scope. And drops back in it doesn't happen often, but it does happen

Very nice gun

Those Battlecloth holsters need to be re-made by someone else. They’re sweet, and I need several. The guy who made them is dead sadly.

Interested in selling the holster?

My M1 carbine gets the job done everytime along with being easy for my wife to wield with ease. AR's and Mini's in my opinion fall short. Just my 2 cents.

Do u think it would be worth getting for the newer generations

Damn, bubba got another one :'(

The shoes say it all!😂

i have these 2 exact grill, the nomad SUCKS, i cannot get heat out of the nomad, using the same fuels, i use real charcoal, i can reuse the charcoal several times, i tried several charcoal brands, and brickettes, the nomad seems to just not work, having tourble cooking hot dogs, i have watched several videos on how to use the nomad

The price point is ridiculous. I’ll stay with my Jo. I could understand the price if you do alottt of traveling. The Jo does not travel well. It does travel well to the park and back and relatives and back

Great video, thanks for sharing your project

which ammunition did the best ? was it the monarch brand ?

I put better front and rear sights on mine and reload my cartridges. Shoots 2 moa at 3050 fps.

I just watched the 3 videos in this mini-series, well done!! I am nominating you for a Tony, Golden Globe and yes, an Oscar. I know that they aren't all awards for videos but have you seen the junk that's been winning those things? No? Me either, I gave up watching all of those "award" shows years ago but I still remember their names, but not my grandchildren's. Glad you went with the A-TM stock, they are like being a young boy and getting new sneakers..... you can run faster as soon as you put them on. With the A-TM stock, I was able to shoot better as soon as I installed it. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol. Great job on the videos and yeah, accurate out to 300 yards is a very capable coyote gun. Don't forget the cool factor of that stock too. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. 🙏👍

Thank you for the thorough job you've done. I have a wood stock ranch rifle that I intend to deck out just like yours. I'll post here how I make out.

This is just the type of information that I needed to hear. Thanks for putting together this helpful video. 👍🏼

Bought a mini-thirty from Accuracy Systems, chambered in 6.5 Grendel. Sub MOA rifle, complete cool factor, a baby M1A for sure.

Did you build by yourself? Looks better and more accurate than many online here. Great video

Rugar Mini14 223

Wow. An IBM. Mine is a Standard Products. I love it to pieces and will not part with it. It is ultra dependable and I don't care about the cartridge but I know what a little mauler it is.

I have to question if you really purchased the rifle for your kids. My current belief is where you ended up, with the stock fit-up, might have the biggest impact on accuracy. The bases of my opinion is the accuracy changes in these rifles when stocks are changed (good and bad) by many people. I think Gun Blue was right. I have heard a rumor that Hogue Gun stocks are magical, and improve accuracy more than a Mo-Rod, even though it doesn’t look as cool. I have nothing to support this to offer you, but if I ever work on the accuracy of my rifle, this is where I will start. What year did you say your rifle was built? Up to 1997, they had a 1:7 barrel twist. I saw that you tried a lot of different bullet weights without any established trend. I suspect if yours is 1:7, the heavier bullets might work better. Maybe shy away from the boat tail bullet design.

This is the best action I've ever seen

It’s called zeroing

Way to call it. Shot show 2024. Looks like you were right.
