Ruger ~ Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Model 01835 ~ .223 Rem.

The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch rifle Semi-Auto Rifle is a scaled down version of the US M-14 with no selective fire switch. All models of Ruger's Mini-14 rifles have a solid reputation for being absolutely reliable under all conditions and have proven themselves in both law enforcement and military use worldwide. The Mini-14 operates with a very simple Garand-style design that uses a fixed-piston gas system where gas impinges directly upon the operating rod and a breech bolt locking system. A large extractor and fixed ejector send spent cases flying swiftly to the right of the shooter. The ejector is set to eject cases low to avoid hitting a mounted scope. No tools are required to quickly fieldstrip the rifle down to a few large parts that are not easily misplaced, and it reassembles just as quickly. This Mini-14 Ranch Rifle comes with a stainless steel barrel and receiver, hardwood stock with a synthetic ventilated hand guard. Integral scope mounts are machined into the receiver for mounting a scope. The Ruger Ranch Rifle is a fast handling Semi-Auto Rifle that's great for hunting, pest control, home-defense and emergency preparation. Manufactured 1999.
