Author notes
To make this patch work, it requires repackaging and replacing the Main.ba2 file from the original Ruger Mini-14 mod. Permissions for this mod will flow from the original mod.

Changelogs
Version 1.3
Optimized BA2 file. Sound files remain uncompressed (which is needed for audio to play) while all other files are compressed. Thanks to Kreittis for clarifying how to make mixed compression BA2 files.
Version 1.2
Improved the recoil pattern to be consistently upward. See Image section for example.
Renamed the mod to be "Ruger Mini-14 Fixes for MK14 and Recoil"
Version 1.1
Fixed the Mini-14 audio not working. This was due to compressing the BA2 file. Fixed by repackaging BA2 w/o compression.
Version 1.0
Initial release. Built for V1 of the Ruger Mini-14.
The Ruger Mini-14 by Ardent was put together quickly as a gift to his partner and has some shortcuts taken. Specifically it uses the same animation path as the above mentioned MK14 weapons and will break the aiming animation of the MK14 (see image below).
This mod fixes that issue by decoupling the Mini-14 from the MK14 animations and subgraphs. New AnimTextData files were also generated. These changes do no harm even if you do not use the above MK14 mods.
2) Mini-14 Recoil Because of who the Ruger Mini-14 was originally made for, the gun has almost no recoil (see GIFs below). While the original mod has a patch to adjust the aim model, the recoil still remains very low.
This mod fixes the recoil by not only adjusting the aim model, but also adjusting the barrel and stock attachments, which had excessive recoil reduction on them.
Installation: The two files in this mod should overwrite those from the original mod.
In the unlikely event you uncompressed "RugerMini14 - Main.ba2" from the original mod, you will need to remove the extracted loose files. The loose files from that BA2 file will conflict with the MK14 animation files and cause issues.
