Design and Build

The wooden stock gives this MINI-14 a classic profile while remaining durable for practical use. The 18in barrel length strikes a balance between velocity and maneuverability—shorter than a carbine-length option yet long enough to stabilize common service calibers. Two 20-round magazines are included, providing ready capacity for range sessions or defensive training. Note the listing mentions some cosmetic blemishes; these are surface-level and typically do not affect mechanical reliability, but inspect images and ask the retailer for close-up photos if finish condition is a priority.

Performance and Handling

With a semi-auto action familiar to many shooters, the MINI-14 delivers controllable recoil and straightforward operation. The wooden stock offers a solid cheek weld and traditional ergonomics; combined with the 18in barrel, expect consistent sight radius and repeatable groups at typical engagement distances. Because the caliber is not specified on the listing, confirm the chambering with the seller before purchase to match ammunition and training needs. View product details and pricing
