The Ruger Web site says the Mini-14 Ranch Rifle and the Mini-14 Tactical Rifle, can be used with either the .223 or 5.56mm round:
Mini-14 Target Rifles ONLY accept .223 Rem. ammunition. 5.56 NATO cannot be used in this model. Probably due to tighter chambering dimensions for accuracy.

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
