Well if a Mini-14 could use AR mags it would be able to run the legal 10 round LAR-15 mags
Think that's where the OP is going with this.
For me, more mag capacity in a non-restricted long arm is a good thing

In most of the U.S., Mini owners don't need to worry about such things. They use factory Ruger mags without restrictions (for the moment). The market in Canada is a pittance in comparison and likely not worth doing any AR mag conversion -- even if it were possible.
I've also been told that it takes approximately 5 minutes to unpin a pinned mag if a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI scenario suddenly erupted and civil unrest followed. Who needs 10rd LAR mags then? A factory Ruger mag is always better than an aftermarket mag -- especially if it has the potential to hold 20 or 30 rounds.

Ramline made magazines which fit Mini 14 and AR. But they would have to be pinned to 5 anyways.
Ramline also did not have a good reputation for reliability.
Hmmm....I'd stick with factory mags at any rate: http://www.perfectunion.com/vb/ruge...k-reliability-ramline-mini-14-ar-15-mags.html + http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=329165 .
