The Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Rifle Model 5888 is a 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington semi-automatic rifle featuring a compact 16.12-inch threaded barrel, 20-round capacity, ATI Strikeforce six-position collapsible/folding stock, factory flash suppressor, adjustable iron sights, integral scope mounts, scope rings, and Picatinny rail. Ruger identifies this exact configuration as Model 5888 / UPC 736676058884.
The defining feature of Model 5888 is its black synthetic ATI Strikeforce stock, which provides both a six-position collapsible design and folding capability. Length of pull adjusts from approximately 11.19" to 14.56", while overall rifle length ranges from approximately 34.50" to 38" depending on stock position.
Chambered for 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington, Model 5888 has a factory 20-round capacity and includes two magazines. This combination differentiates the Tactical model from many Mini-14 Ranch Rifle configurations equipped with traditional fixed stocks and lower-capacity magazines.
The rifle uses a 16.12-inch barrel with a 1:9" right-hand twist. The muzzle is threaded 1/2"-28 and fitted from the factory with a flash suppressor.
Like other Mini-14 rifles, Model 5888 is based on Ruger's proven Mini-14 semi-automatic action. The rifle uses a traditional Garand-style safety and combines the Mini-14's familiar operating layout with a more modern tactical stock and accessory configuration.
For factory sights, Model 5888 is equipped with a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight. It also provides multiple options for mounting an optic. The rifle includes scope rings and a Picatinny rail, giving customers flexibility when choosing compatible scopes or red-dot sights.
The barreled action is constructed from alloy steel with a blued finish, providing the blacked-out appearance appropriate to the Tactical configuration. At approximately 7.5 pounds, the rifle balances the compact 16.12-inch barrel with the adjustable ATI stock and accessory-ready configuration.
