Sturm Ruger Mini-14 .223REM / 5.56mm Transferable Full-Auto Machine Gun

Status: In Stock / Please Call to Purchase

This Chester County Armory listing is for a fully transferable Sturm Ruger Mini-14 .223REM/5.56mm full-auto transferable machine gun.

This beautiful transferable machine gun started out life as a semi-automatic Sturm Ruger Mini-14 rifle built in 1985 by Ruger. It was then converted into a full-auto machine gun and NFA registered by Centre Firearms in New York, NY prior to the 1986 NFA cutoff date. This model is not select-fire version, but is a full-auto only model.

This weapon is in fantastic operational condition. It has recently been sent to renowned Class 3 Gunsmith Mike Friend of Firing Line of Wyandotte, OK for full inspection, testing, and upgrading of the gas system to allow for suppressor use. (Due to the nature of their original design, Mini-14’s and their big brother, the factory registered Sturm Ruger AC-556, can not typically be suppressed without damaging the receiver during operation due to a lack of a factory buffer system. Mike Friend’s ingenious upgrade design eliminates this concern completely by installing a custom gas regulation system that can be tuned with an Allen wrench to allow for various types of suppressors to be used). In addition to the Ruger factory folding stock, this model also features a shortened 13.5″ barrel threaded 1/2x28m. Purchase will include a Ruger factory original 30rd magazine and an unmarked aftermarket 40rd magazine.

This model is in outstanding mechanical condition with no operational concerns, whatsoever. It functions flawlessly using standard NATO SAAMI spec 5.56mm and .223REM ammunition. The fire controls are in excellent condition with no noted concerns. The bolt assembly notes only minor physical wear. The bolt face remains clean and crisp. The bore is bright and shiny with clean, well-delineated rifling. The metalwork notes no dings, dents, malformations, gouges, etc..

Cosmetically, this transferable machine gun is also in very good overall condition with only minor handling and use marks noted at various spots. The factory original blued finish notes some minor use and handling marks on the edges of the original factory finish, but remains with roughly 95+ % of its original bluing. The wood stock is in excellent condition, with only minor light surface markings observed in the metal of the folding stock. The birch wood of the stock is in outstanding condition with only minor handling marks observed.

This transferable machine gun is currently on a Form 3 for easy transfer. The current NFA Form 3 lists “Centre Firearms” as the manufacturer and “Mini 14” as the model.
