The Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Rifle is a 5.56 NATO semi-automatic rifle (Ruger part no. 05889) finished with a speckled black-and-brown synthetic stock for a distinctive, low-glare look. It’s one of the most enduring semi-auto rifles in our lineup, built on Ruger’s proven Mini-14 platform that’s been trusted by ranchers, hunters, and home-defense shooters for decades. The threaded 16.1-inch barrel accepts a muzzle brake or flash hider, and blade-front, ghost-ring-rear sights make it fast to run at defensive distances without an optic. It ships with two 20-round magazines, giving plenty of capacity for the range or a truck gun.
