13 LOADING THE MAGAZINE Use only clean ammunition of the proper caliber manufactured to U. S. Industr y specifications, in good condition. (See Notice and W arnings in other sections of this manual pertaining to Ammunition).
TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITH MAGAZINE) Practice this important aspect of gun handling (with an unloaded rifle) until you can per for m each of the steps - described below - with skill and confidence. But before you do anything with the rifle, please first read completely thr ough this manual.
15 9. Immediately following the firing of a shot, and if a subsequent shot is not to be fired at once, put the safety “ON” while the rifle is still pointing in a safe direction down range.
W A R N I N G – S U S T A I N E D F I R I N G 16 TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITHOUT MAGAZINE) The rifle can be used as a single shot rifle in the absence of a magazine or for safety or training purposes. T o do so, follow step 1, p. 14. Then, manually load a cartridge into the chamber , and follow steps 5 and 6 p.
17 2. Remove the magazine. REMEMBER that even though the magazine has been r emoved, a cartridge remaining in the chamber can still be fired! 3. Pull the slide handle all the way to the rear , extracting and ejecting the cartridge in the chamber .
TO RELOAD THE RIFLE 1. Firing all cartridges in the magazine and the chamber will cause the bolt to automatically lock open. Keep the rifle pointed in a safe dir ection. Put the safety “ON”. Reloading can be accomplished by pressing forwar d on the magazine latch with the thumb or forefinger .
19 W A R N I N G – B O R E O B S TR U C T I O N S humid conditions which could cause condensation, or to rain or snow which might have entered the bore, open the bolt and clean out the bar r el. Inspect the bore visually to be sure that it is perfectly clear (See “Ammunition Warning” p.
c) Retract the slide handle and lock it in the open position by pr essing in the bolt lock plunger in the top of the r eceiver . Retracting the slide handle should remove the cartridge case.
21 2. When attempting to free a jammed cartridge, do not use any type of tool that is likely to act as a “firing pin” and discharge the cartridge should the tool impact on the primer . Never use a car tridge as a “tool”. 3. After clearing a jam, inspect the gun mechanism to determine if dirt or debris might be the cause of the problem.
22 W ARNIN G – MALFUNCTIONS 3. If the mechanism shows signs of not functioning cor rectly , or if a part is damaged or broken -- don’ t use the gun. Have it inspected, and repaired. (See “Malfunction W arning” below) 4. Use only genuine Ruger ® Mini-14 magazines and car efully load the magazine.
23 W ARNIN G – DISASSEMBL Y DISASSEMBL Y Be Sure Rifle Is Unloaded! Although The Mini-14 Rifle can be disassembled, r eassembled, and cleaned in almost any sur r ounding, it is prefer rable to car r y out these procedures on a workbench or table which has a covered top.
Figure 8 Figure 9 3. Use a 1/4” diameter steel rod, punch, screwdriver shank, or other suitable instrument inser ted into the hole in the r ear of the trigger guar d as a lever to spring open the trigger guar d fr om its latched position (See Fig. 8).
25 Figure 13 NOTE: The Mini-14 is like the M1 Garand and many other types of autoloading rifles in that the hammer can fall if the trigger is pulled when the bolt is partially retracted.
26 Removal of the gas block assembly is not necessar y and is not advisable. The gas block assembly is factory fitted using special fixtures and torque tools. Attempting to fit the gas block assembly without the r equir ed special equipment can result in damage to the components and malfunctioning of the rifle.

After the magazine bottom has been slid r earwar d off the magazine shell, carefully raise the r ear end of the bottom r etainer so that its two small lugs can be slid out the rear of the magazine and carefully r emove the bottom retainer .
29 CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERT AIN THE RIFLE AND ITS MAGAZINE CONT AIN NO CARTRIDGES. At regular intervals, or whenever the rifle has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity , condensation, immersion in water , or other adverse conditions, disassemble, clean and oil it.

TO RENDER THE RIFLE INOPERA TIVE FOR SAFE STORAGE W ith the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, remove the magazine, retract the slide handle, and retract the bolt fully to the rear .
MAINTENANCE OF ST AINLESS STEEL RIFLES Firearms and components made of stainless steel ar e relatively more r esistant to cor r osion than those of blued steel. However , in the interest of proper operation and long life of a stainless steel fir earm, inspect it frequently and clean, lubricate and apply an appropriate rust pr eventative.
32 The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation. A small punch, the head of a finishing nail, or other similar instr ument can be used to depress the plunger to allow the adjustment to be moved one quar ter turn in either dir ection. One quarter turn will move the point of impact 1 inch at 100 yar ds.
