Re: Ruger Mini-14 chambered in 300 BLK
Hi Everyone......I have my Mini 14 with Accuracy Systems converting it to 300 Blackout now. I have been told by them that the Mini will cycle supersonic but may not cycle subsonic even with a suppressor. I was really wanting to only run subsonic with a can but it will effectively become a bolt gun if it won’t cycle. What do you guy’s think?
Re: Ruger Mini-14 chambered in 300 BLK
Well, in an AR, a pistol length gas system is recommended for subsonics, and some have issues with a carbine length system. Now compare that to where the gas port is in a Mini-14. Different gas systems of course, but still...occiv wrote:Hi Everyone......I have my Mini 14 with Accuracy Systems converting it to 300 Blackout now.

Good luck, but what you were told is probably right.

Thats the barrel done except one smal detail. No gas port.
A lot of work left.

Nice, even without a gas system, it could make a nice rifle - kinda a cross between a bolt gun and a pump.
Shoot softly, and carry a big clip.

Thats pretty close to what will happen next, i will not drill that hole, but treat it as a straigtpull boltaction, just to see what kind of groups i get. That done, the hole comes, and then, what wil happen with the precision!?

Hmmm. That does sound like an interesting test of how much the Mini-14's gas system affects accuracy. Please post your results!

Yes, promising. I only had 110grn Barnes TTSX with 13 and 15grn N110 behind it available, the later gave better result on target, no time for chrono, yet.
