Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mini-14 is a lightweight semi-automatic rifle manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. Introduced in 1973, the design was based on the M14 rifle and is essentially a scaled-down version chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO.
Since 1973, Ruger has introduced a number of variants, including: varients chambered in both .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO, the Ranch Rifle with a civilian style rear aperture sight and integral scope ring mounts on the receiver, the Mini-14 GB with a bayonet lug and flash suppressor, variants with folding stocks, stainless steel versions of the most popular variants, a target version featuring a heavyweight barrel and barrel tuner, the Mini Thirty, which is chambered for 7.62×39mm, as well as variants chambered in 6.8mm Remington SPC and 300 AAC Blackout. The rifle is currently used by military personnel, law-enforcement and corrections personnel, and civilians in the United States and around the world.
Differences in the GB
These guns were simply standard Ruger Mini-14's that were given a list of extra accessories. This included a flash hider that adorned the muzzle crown of the rifle. The muzzle attachment allowed for use with a line of CS (tear gas) and smoke grenades, which were launched by blank 5.56mm rounds. This hider doubled as a recoil reducer as it ported the gases out and away from the muzzle.
About five inches beind the muzzle, under the front site, was a bolted-on bayonet lug. This would accommodate any M16 style bayonet (the M7, M9, OKC-3S, or others). This made the gun good for riot/crowd control scenarios for paramilitary forces overseas and was key in selling the gun to such groups as the French National Gendarmes and the Bermuda Defense Forces.
Most importantly, these guns were sold with the option of folding stocks, which fit and worked well. These stocks, when compared to aftermarket ones by Butler Creek and others were the holy grail of Ruger compactness.
