I’ve had this product for a few months and have taken it to the range several times over the last few
months. A little back story on me, I had this rifle as a patrol rifle for work and was later replaced with the
AR rifle because of accuracy and to keep in line with other agencies switching to ARs.
I’m very impressed with this upgrade to the accuracy as well as the front sight post. My goal was to see
if this add-on was going to make a difference for me in accuracy. I took 10s rounds out of a box of 20
and saved them for my after-modification test. I was trying to keep the same consistency in ammo by
utilizing the same box for a before and after.
I recorded my findings of the non-modification and took to installing the stabilizer and front sight.
One thing I noticed was that the parts I was adding were nice and light and well-made. I didn’t find any
imperfections in the metal or manufacturing process. Going over the included instructions, were very
detailed, and I found them easy to read and comprehend.
After completion of the installation, I loved how my mini-14 looked like an M1 Garand, without a
magazine in or more fitting to be like my M1a with the magazine installed. These are 2 of my favorite
guns to shoot, but with the cost of ammo, they have spent more time in the safe. I digress.
Range day, because I installed a new front sight, I took a few rounds and sighted in the Mini with the
new sight and stabilizer. I used five rounds to get on target.
Once I had the mini-14 sighted in, I started my test.
I took the 10 rounds that I saved from the same box of ammo in the non-modified test and conducted
my test.
It was not hard to see the change in accuracy. I noted my group was much tighter and was cutting rings.
It was easy to see the difference in accuracy between before and after.
I was very happy with these modifications because I love the platform of the mini and had a few issues
with the accuracy in the past. I also really liked the change in the front sight post. It made it easier for
me to use, see and adjust like my other rifle with the same sight posts.
The parts were super easy to install and from my measurements on my shooting charts, it enhanced
accuracy which is what I was looking for.
I also really love the front sight it’s just like my other rifle and the post is way better than the blade that I
had on the rifle from Ruger.
