The Ruger Mini 14 is based on the popular and successful
military M14 and M1 rifles.
It is chambered for the least deadly rifle cartridge in modern military
history, the 5.56 NATO/.223.
Like the Ruger 10/22 and AR-15, it is customizable.
On the previous slide, the 10/22 on the left has a
telescoping stock, pistol grip, flash hider, and 30-round
magazine. (No bayonet lug or grenade launcher.)
The 10/22 on the right is fitted with a traditional wood
stock, and only has a 5-round magazine in this picture.
Note that even the wood-stock version accepts 30-round magazines
There is no functional difference between these rifles.
The only differences are cosmetic.
