The Mini-14 and Mini-30 Ranch Rifles have been in service for over 20 years, and are an excellent all around carbine. Over the past ten years GG&G customers have found it to be suitable for tactical applications and have repeatedly asked them to manufacture a scope mount for this terrific carbine. The GG&G Mini-14/Mini-30 MIL-STD-1913 Model provides a 5.7 inch Picatinny Rail to accommodate conventional optics.
