We won't beat you up about the Mini-14, but this belongs in the EE.

Whoops, my bad...I was more curious about what a reasonable price would be, and thought some locals might be more helpful. I guess that I need to do some editting.

It would be good to know the series number so we can tell how old it is and what the barrel twist is. It's good to know if it's a Ranch model or not.
Here's the link to Ruger to check when it was made. R. |

Excellent link, that is the kind of stuff that I am interested in! Like I said before, I don't know very much about minis, I am just trying to help a buddy out.

It only goes in the EE if you want to buy sell or trade. Simply wanting to know what an item is worth is not an EE topic. BTW what self respecting AR owner would have a Mini...JK

The original post sounded like he was trying to sell it for his buddy. The first post was edited after my initial post. We're all square now. R. |

My bad I just think the "it goes in the EE" is overused. |

If it is a used standard mini-14 (non-ranch, standard stock) maybe acouple hundred bucks.
I beleive you can pick up a new mini-14 from walmart for not much over $500. The mags are only worth an appreciable amount if they are factory ruger. Unfortunately Ruger never made 40s so they are probably either USA or Triple-k with little value. The good news is that you mentioned it is a folder. If it is a factory folder the Ruger Stainless Folding Stock if in good condition might be the most valuable asset and worth acouple hundred bucks as Ruger does not make them anymore. Good luck and give us some more details. James Austin, Texas |

Thanks James; my buddy has plans to bring it with him to the funshow this weekend in an effort to generate some supplemental funds to get a proper EBR. I have advised him to hold off and give me a chance to look at what he actually has, and do some research before determining an asking price....it is his weapon, and his choice.

As a point of reference for you, I bought a Mini-14 Ranch, stainless w/ wood stock in excellent shape for $400, including 4 or 5 mags and a soft-sided case, and the guy threw in 400+ rounds of .223 ammo.  |

I gave $300 for a 98% Ruger mini 14, blued with wood stock and 3 mags.
