Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the manufacture year matter? Ruger changed the Mini-14/AC-556 gas block and front sight design in 2008, so parts are generation-specific; this one is fitted for rifles made in 2007 or earlier, not the newer design.

Will this fit a 2008-or-later Mini-14? No, Samson sells a separate 2008/later-fitted version of this same gas block; confirm your rifle’s manufacture-year generation before ordering.
