The Gettysburg show is this weekend. There is a vendor who sells mags of all kinds and he usually has some for the Mini-14. He had some on his table at York 2 weeks ago.
I believe his sign actually says 'Mag Man'.
Try the Gun Bunker in Shrewsberry PA. Also Redding Hardware in Gettysburg PA
A couple of weeks ago a friend and I took a trip to VA looking for Mags. I was looking specifically for 20-round Ruger Mini-14 mags. Ruger brand - not any off brand stuff.
Went to Green Top in Ashland and Big Dog in King George and came up empty.
Last week I went back to Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana visiting family. I stopped at Cabelas in WV, and every gun shop and Rural King in IL and IN and came up empty handed. Found several 10/22 25-round magazines but could only find 5 and 10 round Mini-14 magazines.
Trop's up in Elizabethtown Pa. has stocked Ruger factory mags for the Mini any time I've been there. But call to verify if thinking of heading up that way, as I have not been there in over a year.
For OP or anyone else who makes it to the Gettysburg show this afternoon... these were on the "The Mag Man's" table.
Foreground right, 1 Ruger Mini-14 30 round mag.
Center right, 2 Ruger Mini-14 10 round mags.
Center, 2 ProMag Mini-14 20 round mags.
Foreground left are 4 Mini-30 mags.
Prices are in the rear. The board will probably resize the image, let me know if they are illegible.
I can't speak to the reliability of the ProMags in the Mini, but I had bad experiences with them in a 1911 and do not recommend them unless you're willing to take a risk. (They were made of weak metal - pressure from a full mag on the feed lips would cause them to deform and bulge outward - leading to failure to feed and refusal to drop free until several rounds were fired or ejected.)
I have heard of MANY people who have had issues with anything other than Ruger factory mags.
I have a number of non-Ruger mags that work fine in mine rifles. But now, I just buy Ruger mags.
