Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle Accuracy Upgrade
NEW Rear Extending Scope Mounting Base
Received my order this morning. NEW ASI Rear 6" Extending Scope Mounting Base for Ranch Rifle Installed and tested it this afternoon. OUTSTANDING! Cured all my issues. Just wanted to say thank you!
You folks did an excellent job on my Mini 14 trigger. It's perfect.
Thanks

Wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the Mini 14 - AC556 Barrel Conversion results. I think it shoots much flatter. There is little muzzle rise and is very controllable.
Thanks againBucky Dent
Hi, Carl.
The adjustable gas pipe arrived yesterday. I assembled the rifle and it works fantastic! The brass drops 3 feet from my position. Thanks again for your patience and outstanding service in response to my ordering error. Have a great New Year.

Hello,
Just wanted to say I received my new walnut stock and hand guard for my Mini 14. What a beautiful piece of walnut. I LOVE IT. I am going to be proud to show off my revitalized Mini 14. Also, when I called with questions, Carl was so helpful, informative and friendly. What a joy it was to talk with him, could have visited with him for hours. Thank you so much to all the staff at Accuracy Systems. Keep up the excellent work and service.
Chuck Savidge (Proud owner of the new stock.)
Mr. EMMITE,
I sent Accuracy Systems a 185 series Mini 14 that I inherited to mainly dress it up a bit, improve the very poor accuracy and have a rifle I would be confident in hunting with or protecting my family if need be.
The folks at Accuracy Systems are hands down the most communicative and helpful people I have dealt with when it comes to gunsmithing. They made sure I was satisfied from day 1.As far as the work done I had them install a scout rail, barrel stabilizer, adjustable gas block and recoil spring. Also, cut , re-crown and thread my factory barrel and install the M1A flash hider and sight combo. Lastly the deluxe trigger job.
Results:Work completed extremely fast IMO. Quality- precise. Looks like it was made that way to begin with.
Accuracy: here's the big one... went from at best 5" groups at 50 yds to avg. 1/2" to 1.5" groups at 50 yds with OPEN SIGHTS! Yep I did say 1/2" groups. I tested 5 different ammo brands and bullet weights and ALL results were what I consider to be good Accuracy. My groups would open up after about 5 rounds but that is no fault of Accuracy Systems. I have a pencil barrel. But after cooling the groups shrunk right back down.Trigger: Oh, so much better.
Conclusion: I now have a rifle that I am proud of, that is reliable, accurate, and that I have full confidence it. How many Mini 14 owners can say that they can ring steel center mass at 250 yds with open sights, kneeling, sustained moderate rate fire. Until last week, I couldn't. But now I can. No, mine is not a precision rifle, but Accuracy Systems can build those too.Thank you again,

Ok Carl - set up like this I had her double tapping about 1.5 in high and dead-center @100 and hitting the 6in gong @200. That's an Aimpoint 9000L - 1x magnification. This thing shoots great!
Thank you, Jesse Finkelman
I had been looking for a forward scope mount for an AIM Sports 2-7 "scout scope" after discovering that the advertised eye relief fell several inches short.
After trying several different mounts on several different rifles, including my Mini 14, nothing worked.
I thought that I'd just have to eat the scope cost.
I ran across the Accuracy Systems 7.25" mount by accident while looking for other Mini parts. I figured, "why not?"
Combined with Warne low Mountain Tech 30mm rings, it worked perfectly.
The scope clears the mount by less than the width of a spark plug gap, clears the Tech Spec rear sight, and gives just the right amount of eye relief for a comfortable, repeatable cheek weld (well, jaw weld, it's still a scope).
Worth every penny!

Subject: TESTIMONIAL FOR ACCURACY SYSTEMS
I purchased a Ruger Mini-14 in late 2022 in California (it’s one of the least-restricted semi-auto rifles in California, because it doesn’t LOOK like an “assault rifle”). Frankly I was disappointed with its performance out of the box. The trigger was squishy, it was prone to both feed jams and failures to eject, the safety was located INSIDE the trigger guard, and it just didn’t seem very accurate (not that I’m a great shot).I did a lot of Googling to find an company with strong references that could make my Mini-14 a "better gun”. I wasn’t sure how much better it could be but I felt like anything would be an improvement. I came across Accuracy Systems online, with many customers raving about both the quality of their work and the integrity of the owner, Carl Emmite. A lot of folks highlighted the precision of work by Accuracy Systems; I’m a biomedical engineer and “precision” is a matter of life and death in my field, so I was drawn to that.
I had a few pleasant and informative email and phone exchanges with Carl, where he explained the various improvements he could make to my Mini-14. He was very careful not to over-promise, given that the Mini-14 is not a $10,000 sniper rifle and never will be. Given that I’m in California, I also had to go back and forth a few times with Carl before I understood how to ship my Mini-14 to him legally and receive it back. Carl made that process as simple as it can be.I opted for a pretty comprehensive set of upgrades: harmonic barrel stabilizer II, adjustable gas block, extra power guide spring, shock buffer, advanced trigger job, extended magazine release, and extended safety. Carl was very clear about price and installation timing and he delivered within those estimates.
When I received the gun back from Carl, the first thing that impressed me was the packaging, which was much better than how the gun was packaged when it was new. It was wrapped in bubble wrap, then shrink wrapped, then placed in a solid cardboard box. It was extremely safe inside all that.Once unwrapped, the gun looked great – all matching stainless parts (as requested). Even before I took it to the range, I could tell that the action was much smoother and the trigger felt extremely crisp. The external safety and extended magazine release were both nice improvements too.
The biggest improvement though became apparent at the range. Shooting this gun was now smooth, precise and accurate – noticeably improved in all respects. I’m still dialing everything in yet I’m already shooting 2” groups at 100 yards. Again, I’m not the best shot. I feel like Carl’s work makes me look better than I really am at the range.One head’s up (and this is not a criticism of Carl’s work): this gun doesn’t like lower-powered ammo. Carl warned me that the extra power spring would improve reliability overall, but not necessarily with lighter ammo. I bought a selection of ammo and learned which ones have 100% reliability with this gun as configured (Hornady black 5.56 62 grain is both ultra reliable and very accurate). Before Carl’s work, this Mini-14 had problems with ALL ammo, so I’m delighted to have some ammo parameters I can stay within and get great results.
All in all, working with Carl has been a real pleasure with an outstanding outcome. FYI, my firearms instructor took one look at my upgraded Mini-14 and said, “That looks like Carl’s work!” I could have just asked him for a referral and saved all that Googling!Thanks again for your great work!

Carl,
I attached the pic of the 5 shot (.555 @100yd) group and the Custom Mini 14 rifle you made me. Thank you, again, for the damn fine work you do.
Micah Hackett
Carl,
I wanted to get back to you about the 7mm Rem Mag you built for me. I am so pleased with the gun and the accuracy I have found with it. I'm attaching a picture of the target from my last load development outing with the gun. It shot a single hole (3 shot groups) with my 195 gr Berger EOL handload and N570. Average velocity was 2944 fps, and the SD was 8.1. This was exactly what I had the gun built to do, and it will be my hunting round. It also shot a single hole with the factory 175 gr ELDX bullets I sent you, which will be a great backup.The gun was great during barrel break in, but really came together after!
Thank you so much! I truly couldn't be happier!Joe Kupper Nebraska
Carl
Received the package, and it was well worth the wait, the product is fantastic Harmonic Barrel Stabilizer. Thank You Sir for the great product and exceptional customer service. Jamie Williams
Carl,
I’m ashamed to say, I finally got around to shooting the Mini 30 Grendel conversion today. Work, life and new Puppy kept from getting to it sooner. I’d been dreaming of this rifle for 20+ years, and it didn’t disappoint at all! Outstanding workmanship and accuracy. I’ve followed your break in cleaning regiment to a T, but only have 36 rounds through it so far. I absolutely love the rifle.
Regards,Brad Phillips
Carl,
I just received the Custom Ruger Mini .30. It's excellent. Thank you very much, Robert Contreras.
Hey Carl,
Starting to like my mini-30 again😊thank you for accurizing it!! Shots four and five are the ones nearest the center of the target.

Ammo : 124grs. FMJ

(Accuracy Systems return comment: The distance from the gas block to the receiver very's from rifle to rifle. We have had others tell us it was quite snug going in so we needed to stick with a length that would work for all. Thank you very much for your purchase and input. God Bless!!)
Carl, Mini 14 Rifle arrived today safe and sound, I was blown away by how good it looks! It looks awesome Carl thank you so much, can’t wait to get out to the range and see how she shoots! Trigger pull is awesome, and it’s just a stout looking rifle!!
Brad Linney
Wanted to drop a short "Thank you" to Carl and everyone there at Accuracy Systems. I had a problem with my new Mini-14 aluminum rail, and Carl called me personally on my phone while he was technically on vacation to discuss my problem, which was in no way related to Accuracy Systems, but rather it was just "one of those things". I mailed the rail back and within two weeks it was back in my mailbox, good as new. Now THAT is some serious customer service.
Thanks to all at Accuracy Systems for providing top notch customer service for a problem that was not even your responsibility. You’ve won over a customer for life. Thanks again.
Hi Carl
Just letting you know that everything looks good and the 243Win. rifle functions as intended. Thanks for your work and recommendations. Rob Riley
Received yesterday. All I can say is "Amazing". I sent off a 35 year old Mini 14 Ranch Rifle that spent most of its life behind the seat of a pickup truck and received an amazing rifle. I can’t wait to taker her out to the range today.
Thank you Carl.
CF ChamberlainThat 243WSSM finally got some work!
Got my Over the Counter Public Lands NM Barbary Sheep Ram with it. I have hunted them for 7 years or so. Killed a few ewes but the last 3 years I have held out for a Ram. This is a OTC Year around tag and they are massively pressured 24/7 - 365 and pursued every single day, week and double on the weekends!He is way better than I expected or hoped for on that kind of hunt.
It was a 408yd shot across the canyon with just a factory 95gr Silver Tip ... I don't like it but its the only thing I have or can find. Sometimes it fragments in an animal.On this one he was hit twice. High Spine and a thru and thru pass. 2nd round Double lung center punch and a total pass thru too but the entry immediately saw a violent energy shock wave that bruised probably 18" around the initial wound channel and then passed thru the other side in a standard exit. Because these guys are pretty thin bodied I have been seeing these other Fad-ish calibers like 6.5PRC, 300PRC, and even 6.5Creedmoor pass right thru them going too fast and not having the time to expand well. (I'm now a Guide so I see alot of calibers in the field these days). I wanted to see how this fast / violent little pill did.... I like it. Further field time will tell if I can find more dang ammo.
Anyway. thought it would be fun for you all to see that 243WSSM at work.Talked to your guy on a reamer... that 6.8Western is in stock. I am going to try and get the receivers up to you on my next trip north and lets build an AR-10 in that caliber for fun to see what it can do.

Well I *finally* got to shoot/break in the BEAUTIFUL Ruger Mini 30 in 6.5 Grendel that you made for me last year. It was a pleasure to shoot. Thank you!
Russell Karkheck, Nanuet, NYCarl,
Just listened to the voicemail you left; I know you said I didn't need to get in touch if everything was fine, but I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I appreciated the personal update. I've been slowly but surely saving up to upgrade my Mini 14, and everyone online says you guys are the top notch option for anything Mini-related. Naturally I appreciate quality, but quality AND friendliness just can't be beat. Believe it or not, this is the second rail I've ordered; I tried one of the Hannibal rails, but it's not sitting quite right on my barrel, so I figured I'd come to you guys to get an upgrade. No rush on the order; I'm looking forward to getting the rail installed, but I'm still waiting for a friend of mine to touch up a few scuffs on my wooden stock, so there's plenty of time. In the meantime, I'll probably be saving up for one of your accurizers, and maybe a trigger job too. Keep up the great work, and I hope you enjoy your vacation!Thanks again!
Andrew CzudakCarl, Thought u might want to see how my Ruger Mini 14 came out with your walnut stock and vented Walnut Hand guard. Harmonic Barrel Stabilizer, Flash hider front sight Combo, looks and works great.
Thank you, Fred Cravo
Received my Rem 760 trigger assembly today and reinstalled it to feel the improvement. The difference is unbelievable. This will definitely help with my shooting ability and accuracy. I wish I found you earlier. Thanks so much for your work and help.
Regards, Dave Heaps
I wanted to thank you for the quick shipping and the beautiful walnut stock and forend you sent to me. It has transformed my Mini-14 from a pain jane rather cheap looking rifle to a beautiful quality looking gun. It also balances the gun from barrel heavy to feeling much better and evenly distributed weight overall. The only problem I have is trying to decide if the matching handguard looks better than your aluminum alloy handguard. Tough decision.
Once again, thank you.
Hey Carl,
Just to let you know I received the most beautiful Mini 14 walnut sporter stock you sent me just a few minutes ago ! :-)
Thank you so much for installing the liner and reinforcement bracket for me !!
I’m going to get everything ready so the mini-30 can be fired sometime next week.
Thanks again!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter :-)
Good afternoon, Carl. The Mini 14 Custom Rifle arrived this afternoon. It is a great piece of work. I’m no expert but this is certainly everything you said it would be. I appreciate your advice and guidance on this purchase. The stock is gorgeous.
Thanks again and God bless.
Jim Roberts
Hi Carl,
The stock, gas block and Stabilizer II for my Mini 14 went together perfectly. It took a senior moment to realize it took a little pressure to properly seat the bushing. Initial setting kicked brass about 12’. I turned it down a quarter turn and now brass goes about 8’-10’. Zeroed on a 1.5" dot at 25 yards with a 3/4" group. That’s with developing cataracts!
Hi Carl, I received the Custom Mini 14 Rifle last week. Haven’t had a chance to take it out yet, but it’s just beautiful!. The stock, barrel and refinished receiver are gorgeous.
Best,Peter Siegesmund
Good afternoon,
I received the Mini 14 build up today and I would like to thank you for the superior workmanship. I will be taking it to the range for break in and zero.
I would recommend your company to anyone interested.

Hi Carl Emmite
I received my Mini 14 trigger Group back from you and went to the range to try it out. What a difference. It's greatly improved. Thank you.
Carl,
Finally got to do some hunting down in south TX with my Custom ASI Mini 30.
What a joy of a rifle to carry around and have in the truck.
I settled on federal fusion 123gr for hunting and it proved to work very. The Buck was about 60yds. Javalina 100yds snake was 6 feet.
Thanks for building this fine rifle.

Carl,
