| I have a pre-ban mini 14 with a Ram-line folding stock. I would like to trade it to a local gun shop. My question is about trading price. Does it have increased value because of pre-ban and having a folding stock? If so could you give me a ball park figure to work from. I see from other post that post ban are much cheaper, but I would feel awkward asking 70.00 - 900.00 for this. Thanks |

This might help, might not. I know of a stainless, pre-ban, fixed stock Mini purchased before things got crazy. Purchase price was $430, or about $450 w/ tax. The same rifle sells today for about $415 (tax on top of that). Opinion: assuming ANIB condition, it's worth roughly what you paid for it. |
| i bought a new in box postban stainless mini last year for $421.90 last year. on the other hand, i bought a stainless mini 14 pre-ban GB government model about a month later&paid around $650 for it. the GB model was a trade in from some state dept. of correction. |
| bybon, I could be wrong but I feel your asking price of $700-900 may be a little high. It's been about 4 years ago but I got 2 Ruger factory folders, a blued Mini for $450 and a stainless one for $600. I agree with the others that if you want top dollar for your rifle then sell it private party or over the internet,etc.. |
