• Q: So what is the item on the end of this rifle? A flash suppressor? Or harmonic?. I understand the other one (Item Number: 49828 - Ruger 223 BLKHOG TGT SS5828 ) is adjustable... Looks like a silencer on the other one.

  A:

  this model has a flash suppressor not a harmonic balancer Cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning.
  Simple, rugged, Garand-style action with breechbolt locking system, a fixed-piston gas system and self-cleaning moving gas cylinder gives unparalleled reliability under harsh operating conditions.
  Patented integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field (scope rings included).
  Accurate sighting system with ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight.
  Receiver is drilled and tapped for mounting the included Picatinny rail.
  Also includes: two magazines; Picatinny rail; scope rings.
  Compact Hammer-Forged Barrel with 1/2"-28 Thread Factory-Installed Flash Suppressor. https://ruger.com/products/mini14TacticalRifle/specSheets/5819.html

• Q: anyone know when this was in stock, and how much it was. I am looking for one, and believe it is better to get the one with the harmonic on the barrel>?

  • Answered
  • Asked 10/12/2018 21:43 by ben k

  A:

  Ben, Buds price was $876.00 Cash or $902.28 when last sold. This was in late July. If restocked, the price will likely be different. My choice would be w/harmonic balancer as well.

• Q: With 2 reviews, a year apart and one 5 and 1 one! does not tell me anything. Is the weapons that Buds have newer or where bought 3 years ago? I at least want to run a couple magazines threw her without a FTF. And I can't believe Ruger would say it will take a long time to get something fix! I normally have trigger jobs completed on my Ruger's. But 900.00 bucks and a 30 dollar transfer fee and the old 10 spot for the background check and a couple magazines I am looking at $ 1,000.00 bucks.
