Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my new Mini-14 build. I had it built by Carl from accuracy Systems out in Colorado. If I can remember correctly I started off with a NY compliant Model 5855 blued Mini-14 with the 5 round mags then added these mods:

Real wood American Walnut stock
Upgraded hammer spring
3.5 lb trigger job
Upgraded recoil spring
extended mag release lever
adjustable rear sights for windage & elevation
M14 style upper handguards for that classic look
adjustable gas block and barrel strut assembly
action has been bedded (for better accuracy)
OD green colored, quick release 2 point sling

The only other thing I would have wanted to add that NY won't allow me to have is the factory flash suppressor, but that's ok for now until I buy my vacation home in PA. Here are some photos:

That looks really really nice, I hate to be nosey but can I ask how much the upgrades cost? Thanks.

Is that stock a factory stock or aftermarket. It is beautiful wood. I'm looking at a ranch rifle in stainless

That's ok, the price of the rifle, along with the mods came out to about $1800, then $50 or so for shipping to my local NY FFL, then a $35 or so FFL transfer fee at Volko Supply. If I can find the invoice I can probably itemize how much everything cost.

Mine is the solid American walnut, not the laminate stuff...I know Ruger sells Mini 14 ranch versions with the wood stock, but I like the aged look of the american walnut

As for the sites, I'm not sure. Mine are the improved rear sites for $79.99

You're welcome! You sure can do a lot of custom work to the Mini-14, definitely not as much as an AR, but I honestly feel I achieved the look and feel that I was going for. Now all I need to do is make time to go to the range try this thing out.
