Looks good. I actually had the same flash hider many years ago on a Mini. It did increase length but much to my surprise is decreased my groups by about 25%. Hope you have the same results. Bill

I believe it's part of the Accu Strut.winston said:

not true at all... a mini 14 can shoot 2-3 moa with a little tlc, most important imo are a proper trigger job and a barrel strut. the first target was shot at 50 yds and second was 100. No reasong the rifle wouldn't perform out to 300 or sosummondemons said:
To the OP, nice looking rifle
I don't know how effective the Accu-strut is, but I'm sure it
has considerable effectiveness. The Accu-strut was not an
option for my fiancé's Mini-14 because of the newer tapered
barrel on her Mini-14.
Instead I had to place perfectly cut clamps that fit the barrel
exactly to its contours. This not only gave it the most contact
area on your barrel giving more strength and stability, but it
definitely enables heat dissipation from the barrel much more
than I expected. The steel rod felt like it gets just as hot
as the barrel.
After installing solid steel rod and clamps to my fiancé's
Mini-14... along with a high powered 40X magnification scope,
this is how she shot at 100yrds on a clear, mild, windless day.

Nice job on your rifle and enjoy shooting. The Mini-14 is
capable of being a fairly accurate rifle with the right ammo,
scope, stabilizers, weather and a steady trigger finger.

I had the accu strut on my 580 with the tapered barrel. the lighter clamps allow for the taper as long as it's not right up against the gas block.Ghost Hunter said:I don't know how effective the Accu-strut is, but I'm sure it
