Ruger Mini-30

Stainless Steel Ruger Mini-30, Chambered in 7.62x39mm, with a shortened and modified barrel with Flash-hider/Muzzle-break combination device and several 30 round magazines.

The Ruger Mini-30 was introduced in 1987 to used the 7.62x39 (AK47) round. The Mini-14 was a popular hunting rifle but sometimes the .223 Remington/5.56mm round was not approved for hunting, thus the Mini-30 was developed so that hunters could use a 'legal' .30 caliber round. Like the Mini-14, the Mini-30 is not particularly accurate for precise hunting shots, and is used primarily as a utility 'varmint' gun. Essentially identical to the Mini-14, it only differs in the fact that it is chambered in 7.62x39mm. The relative barrel thickness and fatter, more dynamically curved high-capacity magazines are the easiest way to tell them apart.

The Muzzelite MZ14 is a polymer rifle stock that converts a Ruger Mini14/AC556/Mini 30 into a compact bullpup carbine originally designed for US Police Forces/SWAT Teams during the 1980s to convert Mini-14's into "Assault Rifles" when AR15/M16's were not avaliable. Although a number of shooters claim it is unreliable, It has become popular amongst the movie industry due to its futuristic look and sometimes used to take the role of the externally similar FAMAS currently used by the French Military.
