But I've never needed service. One of our Mini-14s has been used in long-term torture testing too. It's fired as much as 1,000 rounds in one day. I wonder how many companies will service their products once you've substantially modified them by replacing major working components with after-market parts. Some, yes, but not a majority I think. Not only has Ruger turned a corner with this 20 round mag bit, but the NRA has turned a corner too. I don't know how many of you were watching the NRA closely 20 or even 10 years ago, but back then you would never have seen anything like this-- an NRA model semi-auto with a 20 round mag, shorter barrel, AND an evil-looking black synth stock? Absolutely no way. This is a great development and should be rewarded. Same goes for STI, Dura-Coat, and Ronnie Barret.

No thanks. Ruger sucks. Thread a muzzel brake on and send the rifle in to say, have a new firing pin installed (you can only get them from ruger, and the only way is to let them install it). But wait, they will not unless you pay for a new barrel and a 'refinishing fee'. THey won't put a pin in a non stock rifle. They won't sell you a pin. Or a new barrel if you want one, even to qualified gunsmiths. The 2 rugers I have are all that I will ever have. Wish I had known.

The bastard sold us down the river to protect his "little gun". Thankfully the company is coming around, and I for one applaud them for it. The first indication was the NRA special edition mini that came with a 20 rounder. Good job Ruger. I hope he is. The bastard sold us down the river to protect his “little gun”.
