A better way to mount a red dot on your Mini-14.

Meet the FLIP Mini-14 Red Dot Mount

Looking for a lightweight, low-profile red dot setup that actually looks like it belongs on your Mini-14?

That was the goal behind our Mini-14 Red Dot Mount. It places a modern red dot naturally over the action while keeping the setup simple, compact, and true to the Mini-14’s streamlined character.

We’ve also integrated a line-of-sight channel through the mount that keeps your iron sights usable underneath.

Compatibility

Fits newer Mini-14 receivers with the three factory-tapped holes used for the Ruger Picatinny rail. Rifles without these holes are not compatible.

Mini-30: Compatibility with newer mini-30 models is still being verified.

Advantages

  • Low-Profile: Designed to complement the Mini's streamlined design.
  • Natural Optic Position: Places the red dot naturally over the action for a clean, intuitive build.
  • Keep Using Your Irons: A line-of-sight channel through the mount keeps your iron sights usable underneath the red dot.
  • Lightweight & Simple: No unnecessary parts, moving pieces, or added complexity. Just a straightforward, intuitive way to mount a red dot.
  • Premium Materials: Precision machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for strength and durability.

Specifications

  • Material: 7075-T6 Aluminum
  • Optic Footprint: Aimpoint Micro (T1/T2)
  • Finish: Black Hard-Coat Anodized*
  • Recommended Installation and Torque Specs:
    • Installation Safety: Always ensure the firearm is unloaded (clear & safe), with no ammunition present, before beginning installation. 
    • Receiver Mounting Screws: 14 in-lb 
      • Use the original Ruger receiver screws when available. Replacement screws are included with our mount if the originals are missing.
      • We recommend blue (REMOVABLE) Loctite on the receiver screws. 
    • Optic Screws: Follow the optic manufacturer’s recommended torque specification.
    • Installation Note: Install the mount first, then the optic. The included extended T10 bit provides access from below for longer optics. Keep fingers clear of action. 
    • DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN

*Note about Silver Finish: We are still working on a refined silver finish option intended to pair well with stainless Mini-14 variants. We’ll share updates through our email list and socials as we have them.
