Best Answer

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.

Can the ruger mini 14 shoot 5.56 ammo?

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.
