Ya? 3 Inch groups? What yardage? 100yds , 200yrds???

Tell us you don't know what you're doing without saying it...

I found removing topside motor mount and driver motor mount (remove 19 mm) nut. Jack up 3 inches from bottom of transmission allowing for easier access to some of the transmission cover bolts.

I think your video is very helpful and it should have more likes than it does. I think ppl don’t like it because it’s gonna trigger other videos like this into your algorithm & unless you’re a mechanic there’s no need for more. Just food for thought. Thank you 4 the tip.

" it's almost 5 inches!" Hey! Don't call me out like that man!

That is a small sample size for accuracy numbers. At least throw 20 rounds down range if your are going to cheap out of a good sample size.

I have found that adding Skinner Peep sights will improve most rifles. A mini 30 is a Brush gun. Use it as such.

How much does this filter costs?

I have owned my Mini-30 since 1994 when Bill Clinton enacted a gun ban. It's the worst rifle I own in terms of accuracy. I also bought two cheap junk Chinese SKS's at the same time that shoot the same ammo. My SKS's from Day 1 have shot circles around my Mini-30 and the further the shot, the greater the difference. My SKS's will fire anything. My Mini-30 will jam with FMJ's. I'm not touting the SKS, I'm using it as a benchmark for exactly how bad my Mini-30 is. I haven't shot it in 20 years. It's just a frustrating affair.

How dare you call it ugly.

Thanks for the video. Did this yesterday. I found jacking up the gearbox just a bit help immensely with accessing those drivers side bolts. I also used a 1/4 drive ratchet with a swivel.

I did filter on 2009 RX at 70k and it was a PITA. just extracted 2.5 qts at 160k and added 2.5 back in

Thank you. It worked!

Nice job

😮

Great work

mine is intermittent slow clicking sound that also turns on the blinkers when it clicks? happens when i open the doors. starts the engines, driving, happens when the car's engine is off ..etc. intermittenly?

I’ve never seen that kind of accuracy in a Mini30 ever. I think the brake may cancel out some of the error caused by the reciprocating mass of that giant ass action slamming to the rear. Nice job. I’m still very hesitant purchasing one though.

Well folks, we have a troll. He's hiding behind this profile: www.youtube.com/@Brok. He says real jet dogfights are boring and posted his simulated WW2 video game as better. So, the question is, are video game dogfights better than the real dogfights?

Nothing you did made the gun shoot beter. This nonsense that Mini 14 isn't accurate is a bunch of malarkey. The internet and your initial statement are responsible for this BS. This gun is as accurate as need be for what it is. It is not and was never intended to be a target rifle. Neither was the AR platform.

Some missing info in this video.... If you have a U660 series transaxle, there is a fill plug on the side of the transaxle behind wheel well liner on driver's side. You will pull out the drain plug in the pan, and with the same 6mm hex pull out the over flow tube. When it comes time to fill it up run the engine with the overflow tube installed and drain plug rememoved. Fill it through the fill hole in the side with trans fluid temp at 40-45C. Fluid will come out of overflow tube and you put your drain plug back when it slows to a dribble. If you're having trouble with the pan bolts, unbolt the transmission mount and jack the unit up by the differential area of the transmission for a little more clearance.

I Just bought a Mini 14 stainless steel 183- 1982 model. Maybe had 30 or 40 rounds thru it. Mint condition.. I shot 225 rounds thru it.. fun gun

Will this improve the amount of heat i get in my 2007 Armada?

The synthetic stocks do not shoot well. Invest in a Ruger wood stock, and glass bed.

I am 3 mos post anterior surgery. Was nervous beforehand but now wish I would have done it sooner. Fairly easy. Good video. The graphic pics are ok because it's over. Interesting to see. Liked hearing leg length got better. Agree research surgeons & techniques. Had some numbness but resolving. Would stress taking pain meds as directed. Best wishes to all on their health journey.

An excellent, straight to the point video. I easily related to your methods. Thank you! Much appreciated!

I have a mini-30 ranch rifle. It’s very well maintained I can it 6 inch steel plate every time at 100 yards with wolf steel cased ammo and you have to understand that’s what it is. It’s not a rifle you’re going to get amazing accuracy at 300 yards. Partially because of the 7.62x39 and partially because the barrel is a very light for the 7.62 and it wobbles because of how thin it is

So, is this kicking the can down the road? What I mean to ask is that this noise is due to some stripped gears. By keeping the door from closing fully, are we going to just strip the next few teeth, and so on? I had this problem fixed "the old fashioned way" some years ago at a cost of > $700. I did what is describe here, and it works, so should I just expect to have to do it again?

The older mini 14 I use to own didn't like the steel cased ammo that I bought in the 90's. In fact they jammed in the rifle twice before I stopped using steel cased ammo.

Worked like a charm for my 2006 Frontier. I doubled-up the clothespins just like you did. Five min fix. Easy-peasy. Great video. Simple and no BS. Thank you!

An interesting video. However my alarm bells went off when I saw the box of Brown Bear ammo with the line "Non-corrosive Berdan Priming." OK, I wouldn't trust that claim. MANY foreign countries are (or were) firm believers in corrosive priming for its greater longevity and shelf-life. I'm not saying the Brown Bear people are lying, but what I AM saying is don't take chances, after you shoot any foreign ammo clean the gun! It doesn't take a lot of effort and it's worth the peace of mind. And don't say "It's OK, I'll do it tomorrow." When tomorrow comes something's going to interfere and you'll forget. And yes, I'm speaking from experience. I bought some "non-corrosive" import stuff years ago that wasn't. Ouch.

This may help explain some issues. Ammunition and barrel changes and differences caused a bad impression of the mini 30. ruclips.net/video/xBnNZPx0pwQ/видео.html

Too bad Ruger won’t fix this. Quit buying them.

Supposed to use quality ammo .not mil surplus

Very accurate with a scopr and a ak74 muzzle brake. Hot shot

I have both a 580-series Mini-14 and Mini-30. Tried the Accu Strut thingy. No detectable difference and it added weight and looked weird. Since removed. Some report 1-2 MOA performance with a bit of work. I have not seen that and the general consensus seems to be that that is very rare. These rifles were designed as 100 yard tools (say 3-5 MOA) - not even worth a magnified optic IMO (I use mini red dots). Quick, light, reliable (w/Ruger mags), durable, clean and no gas in the face. I chose the Mini over the AR and AK. Any sort of remotely serious rifle work has to be bolt action as far as I'm concerned!

If you like this one, watch the history that led to it: ruclips.net/video/0XhMQR1LODI/видео.html

More reasons why I do not like ruger products they have to know how these things are when they leave the factory. They must feel that their customers are really stupid. Reminds me of Chrysler products. I.e. you would not know what quality is even if it walked up and bit you in your ass.

This is awesome thank you.

Not worth the cost to glass bed your action but a custom handmade muzzle break is cost effective? Not sure if your reasoning. You can glass bed it yourself for less that $30.

Thanks for this video.

It would be hard to tune better than 1.5" group @ 100 yards with stock iron sights out of the box. Mini-14 all day, every day...

I don’t know where you found silver bear but it was the best .223 ammo I ever shot at one time long ago I got 1000 silver bear with a saga .233 rifle and used it in a few other AR platform guns I owned. Talk about accuracy!!!

There are many things I take issue with in your presentation. The one of the most obvious is out about 1 30 minutes you present reasons why China would go to war.The fact that they're already got a huge population decline due to their one-child policy which will have repercussions over the next 25 years for sure and now you want to send their youth off to war. Who will do all the heavy lifting after the war's over when their youth has been decimated.

Yeah but you’re not in total reconciliation of air in the cabin though, it’s still about 25% open drawing in fresh air

I've noticed that mine has a crack in the actual gear so the clothes pin does absolutely nothing for it how do you fix that? I'm fearing the entire dashboard in front area has to be dismantled in a big way to access it?

Thank you for doing this video. I am bone on bone hip arthritis right now. Have been walking with a cane since June. I had 2 hip injections. The last one I had was back in March of this year. All winter the inner groin part of my hip was hurting so very bad I couldn't even bent my leg up to get into my car without bad pain. The inner hip injection from March is still helping but in May I started getting pain in my outer part of my hip and when I would bend down to tie my shoes I would get nerve pain going from my outer thigh into my foot. Went to the dr. he said it was my SI Joint also muscles are really really tight. I started physical therapy in June I have been working with a personal trainer for 2 years now twice a week and physical therapy once a week. In between my therapist has my hip pain well enough I go to Planet Fitness gym and use the machines. My body will allow me to use. I do have femoral retroversion and tibial torsion (my feet turn out badly) and I also have forward slippage of my L5-S1 in my spine and pars defect fractures on both sides at that level plus arthritis in my back and knees and also knock knees. I too am scheduled for hip replacement surgery on October 11th. No I am not in good shape core wise but I am trying my best. I am not at a healthy weight my BMI is 42. I do have the best surgeon to do my surgery. He specializes in hips, he is an orthopedic trauma surgeon, he does a lot of derotational osteotomy surgeries to correct peoples gait. He was going to do that on me until my hip arthritis got bad. Because of my rotation in of my bones in my legs he is going to use a dual mobility implant. Right now my therapist says my muscles in my left arthritic hip aren't firing the way they are supposed to very weak I don't even feel my glute muscles. I hope after my surgery my muscles will start to work the way they are supposed to. In the meantime I just keep doing my therapy and my gym and working with my personal trainer trying to get as strong as possible. Yes I do have a weak core too. Asking for lots of prayers. Thank you for posting video it was helpful.

Glad to hear about the leg length getting better with just a bit of time.

Thanks! Gonna do this on my new-tp-me 98 Pathfinder. Just started this a few days after i got it back from mechanic installing a used motor.
