excuse my spelling. I bought a ruger mini 14 used so I want to revive it without a lot of cost. What are the things I need to help get it to moa if possible. I did revive a Ruger 44mag carbine by doing a lot of cleaning and trigger work. I know they are not known for there accuracy but i can improve it.
 
Many tips can be found here.
  • Gap the gas block evenly
  • Replace the gas bushing with one that has a smaller diameter port
  • Add a barrel stabilizer (Mo-Rod or Accu Strut)
  • Add buffers to the gas pipe and recoil spring guide
  • Trigger job

Gas block cap

Becareful when removing/retouching the cap.
It is easy to cross thread and crack the cap.
I had to replace screws and chase the threads with a tap. And reweld a
broken cap that another shop messed up.

I've glassed

them like you do a M1 grand , the reciever contact with the wood . Glass the forend where it contacts the gas port houseing, use release lol or it will be all stuck together. One I had would shot 2 shot groups in a dime but the other couldn't kill a pie plate. I thought the bad one had a very long runout on the throat causeing the bullets to upset an wabble coming out of the barrel. Good luck
