The Ruger Mini-14® Tactical Model 5864 is a compact .300 AAC Blackout semi-automatic rifle built for reliability, maneuverability, and versatility. Featuring a 16.12-inch cold hammer-forged threaded barrel, 20-round capacity, factory-installed flash suppressor, black synthetic stock, and Ruger's proven Garand-style fixed-piston operating system, the Mini-14 Tactical offers dependable performance in a lightweight, compact package suited for recreational shooting, ranch use, and personal defense.
At the heart of Model 5864 is Ruger's fixed-piston, self-cleaning gas system with a Garand-style rotating bolt, a design renowned for reliable cycling under a wide variety of conditions. The action minimizes fouling while providing smooth operation and straightforward maintenance without the complexity of direct-impingement systems.
The rifle features a 16.12-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a heavy profile and a factory-installed flash suppressor. Chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, the barrel utilizes a 1:7" right-hand twist and 5/8"-24 muzzle threads, making it compatible with many standard .30-caliber muzzle devices.
Model 5864 is built with a heat-treated alloy steel receiver finished in matte blued steel and paired with a durable black synthetic stock featuring integral sling swivel studs. The compact design measures just 36.25 inches overall while weighing approximately 6.7 pounds, making it easy to carry and maneuver.
For sighting, the Mini-14 Tactical includes a protected blade front sight and an adjustable ghost ring aperture rear sight for rapid target acquisition. Ruger also machines integral scope bases into the receiver and includes Ruger scope rings, while a factory Picatinny rail allows convenient installation of optics.
The rifle feeds from Ruger's proven 20-round detachable box magazine and features a traditional cross-bolt manual safety located at the front of the trigger guard for intuitive operation. Its compact dimensions and fast-handling characteristics make the Mini-14 Tactical well suited for shooters who prefer a traditional rifle layout over an AR-style platform.
Combining .300 Blackout chambering, a threaded barrel, factory flash suppressor, compact tactical profile, and Ruger's legendary Mini-14 operating system, the Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Model 5864 delivers outstanding versatility and dependable performance in a classic semi-automatic rifle.
