minicar: I am looking at buying a ruger mini 14 tacticle with the folding stock. Can you put verticle fore grips on the mini? If so can i put any kind on or do they make certain types for the mini? Also what is a good yet not too overly expensive sight i can put on it as well? ThanksCan you customize a ruger mini 14 in the way you can an AR 15?I'm going to disagree with the previous answers. In general you can get many more accessories for the AR15 than you can for a Ruger Mini 14. Just check Brownell's web site and you will see for yourself what is available for the AR15 vs the Ruger Mini 14. Brownell's is one of the largest suppliers of gun parts and accessories in the US.Can you customize a ruger mini 14 in the way you can an AR 15?Yes - you can customize the Mini-14. All the rail accessories are gonna fit just fine. The mini-14 is more affordable to the AR platform of rifle. So long as you don't plan on swapping barrels later on in life - the Mini-14 should do you just fine.Can you customize a ruger mini 14 in the way you can an AR 15?you can heavly customize a mini 14 all you need is the right stock that can be customised cheaply an there easy to some by so your good to go.
