Accu-Strut S. O. C. O. M Barrel strut
For: Ruger Minis
STAINLESS STEEL
NEW
AS-S
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.
Dimensions:
Length: 4” The Socom, originally offered in a 5" length,
is now produced in a length of 4".
We do not have any 5" SOCOMS left in stock.
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 also have a
special version of the gasblock that have a side
attachment point for the sling, and no center flange.
Again, no rear attachment point, and
possible slippage problems.
It was originally reported that the current Mini-30
also has a larger barrel diameter than earlier models,
and the clamps will again not fit.
(Older Mini-30s w/.625" barrels are OK.)
UPDATE: Some of our customers have reported successful installations with the clamps "straddling" the barrel
(a "pinch-grip").
This will leave a gap towards the middle of
the clamp that will not affect performance.
The Target Model has an extra heavy barrel.
Our custom-designed (5/8") clamps will not
accomodate this larger diameter.
Socom (4") Model
Short "Tactical" model
Older straight-profile 9/16" barrel
New tapered 5/8" barrel
Fits most short-barrel (16-1/8”) Mini-14 and Mini-30,
including Tactical models, 2008 NRA models,
and modified rifles.
Fits tactical Mini-30.
Clamps will straddle the newer models with .782" barrel, leaving a slight gap between the clamp
and barrel that will not affect performance.
Will fit full-length barrels, however accurizing effect may be less pronounced.
5" will not fit rifles with mid-barrel bayonet lugs
(i.e. older GB models).
The 4" will usually fit.
Will not fit on "Target" models due to the much larger barrels.
