No, the Mini-14 and M16 magazines are not the same. They have different designs and dimensions to accommodate each rifle's specific feeding and operating mechanisms. It is important to use the correct magazine for each rifle to ensure proper functionality and reliability.

Ruger mini 14 the older models accepted an ar 15 magazine is there any way to convert the new ones to do so?
The Ruger Mini-14 has never been able to accept the M16/AR-15 magazine. A proprietary magazine for the Mini-14 has always been used. If you find a way to convert a Mini-14 to accept STANAG magazines, I'm open to suggestions, but I have not been able to find one yet.

Is a M14 and a Mini 14 the same rifle?
No, the M14 and Ruger Mini-14 are completely different firearms. The Mini-14 was designed for the civilian market as a .223 caliber rifle based on the looks of the M14, which fires the larger 7.62x51mm round and has fully automatic capabilities. They do both however have a gas-operated rotating bolt action.
What is the value of a Ruger Mini-14 223 stainless with a folding stock?
if you are talking about the Mini 14 with an AC 556 style side folder, the one like the A-Team sported, they cost about $800-$1100. A real AC 556 machine gun cost about $7000-$8000. Actually, the A-Team guns were stainless mini-14 gb models. equipped with Ruger factory folding stocks. They differed from the mini 14 in that they had a flash suppressor and a bayonet lug, intended for gov't contracts. The gb stood for government / bayonet; they accepted the us m7 bayo, intended for the m16. The above mentioned Ac556 was the select fire version of the mini-14, and because the ac556 receiver and mini-14 had different external dimensions, they used similar but DIFFERENT stocks. ( not mini-14's with ac556 stocks as stated above. The movie guns were NOT Ac556's. The show's sound effects were done to simulate the 556's rate of fire, but look closely and you'll see no full auto selector and the brass being ejected is at a slower semi-auto rate. Hope this helps!!! the current market values, not book values or msrp, is as follows: mini 14 650.00 mini 14 gb 800.00 mini 14 folder 1000.00 ac556 5500.00 these prices are for stainless in excellent condition
