Ruger Mini-14 Tactical 5.56 NATO 18.5" Matte Stainless 20+1 5897

Ruger Mini-14 Tactical

The Ruger Mini-14 Tactical is a stainless semi-automatic rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO with an 18.5" cold hammer-forged barrel. A Samson A-TM folding stock shortens the package for storage and transport while keeping a 20+1 capacity from two included magazines. Matte stainless metalwork and a 7.5 lb weight give the rifle a durable, balanced feel for defensive and range use. Overall length is 39.25" with the stock extended.

The barrel is threaded and ships with a flash suppressor, using a 1:9 twist for common 5.56 NATO loads. Sights are a protected blade front with bayonet lug and a ghost ring rear aperture. Integral scope mounts and included rings cover optic setup, and a Picatinny forend rail accepts lights or other accessories. Nickel Teflon steel magazines and a manual safety keep feeding and controls simple.

This rifle fits shooters who want Mini-14 handling with a folding stock and stainless finish. It is a strong match for patrol, ranch, and home defense roles where a compact 5.56 NATO carbine is useful. Buyers looking for an 18.5" Mini-14 Tactical with a Samson A-TM stock, 20-round magazines, and factory rings will find model 5897 built for that role.
