I’m also looking into what might help with accuracy using the Mini 14. I’ve heard good things about the MO Rod but am unsure about how it compares to the Accu-Strut. Any specific insights?

I’ve used both the MO Rod and Accu-Strut, and honestly, both have their pros. The MO Rod adds stability, but the Accu-Strut might make a noticeable difference in tighter groups.

If you’re struggling with loading issues, check out the feed ramp. Sometimes, a little maintenance goes a long way to improving feed reliability!

Good tip, brenda37! I had those issues too until I polished my feed ramp. What kind of lubricant do you recommend for maintenance?

I generally use CLP for my Mini 14. It keeps everything smooth and is great for cleaning too! Plus, it’s readily available.

Has anyone had a chance to really compare the accuracy of both setups? I’m curious if it’s worth the investment to switch from the MO Rod to the Accu-Strut.

I did a side-by-side, and honestly, I think the Accu-Strut clinched it for me. But MO Rod is definitely a solid choice!

Getting mixed reviews here, which is it? MO Rod sounds like a crowd favorite, but Accu-Strut seems to have its advocates too. Can we get to a consensus? LOL.

It really depends on personal preference and what you’re looking for in performance. Both offer improvements, but in different ways!

Hmmm, I think I’ll need to try both to truly decide! Maybe I should organize a mini-range day with some friends…
