Accu-Strut SOCOM Barrel strut for Ruger Minis - Black

Short barrel strut for Mini-14 and Mini-30 rifles. Provides mechanical rigidity for thin carbine barrel, potentially reducing accuracy-killing vibrations. The 4-inch single-clamp configuration gives a good compromise between performance and lightweight, compact design. Improvement varies with individual rifle. In some cases there is no noticeable improvement in accuracy. 

   The Socom model was developed for the new short-barrel tactical Minis now being offered. It will also serve customers who have Minis with standard long barrels but prefer a lighter, more compact design.

• Shorter, single-clamp version for short tactical barrels or more compact application.

• Also significantly aids in barrel over-heating problems, reduces load sensitivity, and enhances the appearance of your Mini.

• Proprietary low-profile barrel clamp.

• Available in black oxide (“blued”) finish.

Dimensions:

• Length: 4”
  
• Weight: 5.6 oz.

The Accu-strut will generally fit on any series Mini-14 or Mini-30, except for some important exceptions:

• Early Minis use a version of the gas block that does not incorporate a center flange. The strut will still install on these models, but note that there will be no place to attach the rear set-screws. This may lead to a slippage problem with no easy way to fix.

• Early GB models with folding stock, the newest Mini 14 tactical Model 5895 with Walnut folding stock and the 50th Anniversary Mini 14 have a special version of the gas block that have a side attachment point for the sling, and no center flange. Again, no rear attachment point, and possible slippage problems.

• The Target Model has an extra heavy barrel. Our custom-designed (5/8") clamps will not accommodate this larger diameter.
