Overview

The factory Mini-14 rear sight is a coarse ghost ring with no precision adjustability and a sight picture different from anything else most shooters train on. The Tech Sights MINI200 replaces the factory rear assembly with an AR-15-style adjustable rear aperture sight, giving Mini-14 owners the same sight picture as their service rifles or training rifles. Windage and elevation adjustments use audible-click drums calibrated for 5.56 trajectory.

Compatibility is the catch: the MINI200 fits 5800-series Mini-14, Mini-14 Tactical, and Mini-30 rifles manufactured after 2005 with no adapter. Pre-2005 rifles can still use the same sight body but require an additional adapter kit available from Tech Sights. Confirm receiver year before ordering.

Installation is drop-in. Unscrew the factory rear sight base, mount the MINI200 with included hardware, sight in at 25 yards. The longer sight radius the MINI200 provides over the factory ghost ring is meaningful for accuracy at 100+ yards, and the adjustable aperture gives precision shooters a smaller target picture without sacrificing speed at close range.

  • Drop-in fit for 5800-series 2005+ rifles

Pros

  • +Same sight picture as AR-15 carries training over to the Mini-14
