At the heart of Model 5801 is Ruger's fixed-piston, self-cleaning gas system with a Garand-style rotating bolt. This proven action is engineered for smooth, reliable cycling while minimizing fouling and reducing maintenance, making the Mini-14 one of the most trusted American-made semi-automatic sporting rifles.
The rifle features an 18.50-inch cold hammer-forged barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, allowing it to safely fire both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition.

The rifle is also drilled and tapped for the included Picatinny rail. Iron sights consist of a protected blade front sight and an adjustable ghost ring aperture rear sight, providing fast target acquisition and dependable accuracy.
The rifle ships with two Ruger factory 5-round magazines and utilizes a traditional cross-bolt manual safety positioned at the front of the trigger guard. Ruger factory magazines are specifically engineered for the Mini-14 platform and are widely regarded for their reliability and durability.
