Will this scope fit on mini 14 without blocking iron sights?

I actually put one of these on my mini 14 and yes it does block the iron sites. Quick release makes it easy to pull off but you still have to come off target to do that. I know there are mini 14 models that will shot the .223, 5.56, and the .308 rds. If you shot anything bigger than the .223, this scope will lose zero after a few rds. It's a good scope for a .117 or .22 cal. but for a mini there's a lot better out there.

The dust cover rail is the absolute worst option for mounting a sight, but yes it will fit on it. I highly doubt it will hold a zero at all though.

I am unsure what size the attachment rail is on the model 14. This fits a 1" wide rail.

yes they will I have a mini 14 and the mags do fit but I run metal mags in it, I'm running pmags for my ar and they fit ,so tapcos should. rule of thumb if the mag pouch was designed for ar/ m16 then it will work for the mini 14/30.

Not sure. You may need the 5 inch version that requires 2 supports, not the smaller one I used. I think they make an Accu Strut for all versions of the Mini 14. Hope that was helpful.

I use this sight on a mini 14. The blade is adjustable for height. The sight sits on a picatinny rail mounted on the rifles barrel, this sight is the high sight. I believe they sell a lower type sight that accounts for the front a rear rails on a AR-15 being of equal height. My rails are not of equal height, my front rail diffenitly sits lower than the rear. They both match, I used a laser bore sight to adjust them with.

I honestly have no experience with the older model mini 14's, but i took some measurements on mine that i hope will help. The Gas Block on a 580 series is 2.125 in. bottom to top. The barrel tapers down to a thickness of 0.624 in. where the barrel reaches 0.624 in, The gap between the barrel and the strut measures 0.284 in. I also measured the gap between the end of the strut and the bottom of my front sight(with no bayonet lug) and the gap measures in at 0.318 in. So i would say at minimum you have about a quarter of an inch of clearance. I would still consult someone who has experience with both the strut and the older 180 series mini 14's.

The site that you are shopping for the SigTac on should state which "Rail" that the scope is designed to clamp onto. See if the rail on your Mini 14 matches the specs for the SigTac. The rail on my AR Flat top did not match so I modified the scope to match.

Absolutely. It will clamp forward of the taper on the barrel. (forward of what the picture shows). Had one on my newer mini 14 and loved it.

NOt sure. It fit on the accu-strut on my mini 14 however it broke after 20 rounds of .223. I could not recommend it to anyone. Rather, try to find an old army surplus bipod. Same thing but made of metal.

I think this should work fine on a mini 14 as long as you have a Picatinny rail or beavertail scope mountbut your front sight maybe in the way of the laser

I have a ruger mini 14 but have only mounted the 223 mount on my AR. It does look like it will work though.

It will not. The front sight, even though directly in front, will be invisible through the scope... strange, but true.

This will probably be too tall for the Ruger. The Mini 14 has a standard rifle style stock with some drop. The AR has an inline stock, so it needs more of a riser for optics. I'd start with the low. But then again, for $10 ea shipped, buy them both.

I had to low mount on my Strikfire for my Mini 14. I switched the sight to my AR and added this cantilever mount. This mount is offered in absolute co-witness and 1/3 co-witness. I went with the 1/3 and loved it. Not sure if this answered your question or not but yes, you can remove the low mount that came with the sight when you bought it and add this mount to change the co-witness. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-cantilever-30mm-ring-1-inch-offset-absolute-co-witness

It should fit fine. I would say the functionality of the sight is very limited and would probably be just for looks though.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help
