Ruger Mini-14

Named in a drug-related firearms count in the 2019 New Aryan Empire indictment.

Evidence as of 2019-02-05

History & context

Ruger dates the Mini-14 family’s introduction to 1974 in its 2006 company announcement. Later examples acquired the Ranch Rifle name. The 2019 court filing supplies the separate criminal-case context; it does not establish the specimen’s production year or detailed variant.
