โ€Thatโ€™s why the Ruger Mini-14 is still popular.โ€

I think I need a Mini-14 that accepts AR magazines.

Ruger would have to completely redesign the rifle to accomplish that. I like the Mini, and think it’s well thought out, and underrated for what it is. L. James “Jim” Sullivan did amazing work scaling the AR-10 down, and later going to work for Bill Ruger and doing the same with the M-14; that being said, I don’t see a lot that can be done to further improve the Mini without redesigning it which would ultimately increase costs.

That’s one of the biggest hurdles.
