Manufacturer: Ruger Type: Rife Model: Mini 14 Caliber: .223 Barrel Length: 18" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3467 Serial Number (S/N): 185-69704 Reference Number (Ref #): P25008094 Notes: This rifle is a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 Remington / 5.56×45mm NATO. Production year: Ruger Mini-14 rifles use a serial number prefix system. The “185-” prefix corresponds to a manufacture year of 1985. The rifle is fitted with an 18.5-inch blued barrel and factory black synthetic stock. It features a protected blade front sight and a fully adjustable ghost-ring rear sight. The receiver includes integral scope-mounting cuts, consistent with the Ranch Rifle configuration. Operation is via Ruger’s fixed-piston, Garand-style gas system with operating rod, known for durability and reliability. No magazine is included with this rifle. Condition is good overall. The rifle shows typical handling wear with light bluing loss along edges and contact points. The small sheet-metal cover plate on the left side of the receiver (the bolt hold-open / ejector cover retained by a single screw) is missing. This component is cosmetic in nature and does not affect function. The rifle cycles normally, and replacement cover plates are inexpensive and readily available. The bore appears clean, and the action functions correctly. Mid-1980s Mini-14 Ranch Rifles are well regarded for their handling, reliability, and compatibility with optics. This example remains fully operational and ready for ranch, range, or utility use once a magazine is added.
