that the safety is rearward in the trigger guard and is therefore in its “ON” (safe) position.
receiver in recoil. The bolt has been redesigned and the previous Mini-14 spring-
loaded ejector has been eliminated. The bolt stop has been modified to fit in a
slot in the side of the bolt, and it also serves as the ejector so that the empty
cartridges are ejected from the receiver straight out to the side in order to clear
the lowest mounted scope.
The patented Ruger integral scope mounts take all standard Ruger scope rings of
various heights. A standard Mini-14 front sight is used, with a tip-up type folding
rear peep sight, adjustable for windage and elevation.
OPERATION OF SAFETY
The manual safety mechanism is located forward of the trigger for convenient
operation and is “ON” when in its fully rearward position intruding into the
trigger guard. (See Fig. 2) The safety can be moved to “ON” (extreme rearward
position) only when the hammer is cocked. When the safety is “ON”, it blocks
both the hammer and sear. The safety should always be placed “ON” before
loading or unloading the rifle and should be kept “ON” at all times except when
actually firing.
