Ruger Mini-14 5.56x45mm US Border Patrol
The Ruger Mini-14 was issued to US Border Patrol agents as a patrol rifle before the agency transitioned to AR-pattern rifles. Its conventional rifle appearance and lighter profile compared to M16-pattern weapons made it more politically acceptable in the 1970s and 1980s.
