Hi to all again. I have been gone for a while, but am back in the game, so here is my question.
I am looking to purchase a Ruger mini 30, SS, with a walnut stock, and am having a hard time finding out the value of such an animal. Looks to be in great shape, shot very little, and the owner is a close family member. I just want to make sure he gets what it is truly worth.
Can any of you experts tell me the current value of such a rifle, other than looking up the info in the blue book?
Appreciate your input, and I'm glad to be back.

Kinda like selling snowcones in a blizzard comes to mind.
If you want a cheap, accurate shooter, you might consider the SKS that takes AK mags. Not real pricy yet, but if the AWB is reinstated, expect them to circle the moon.
Doesn't look like it will be at this point, but you have to plan for these contengencies.

you would be better of selling it in about five to ten years when all the sks and ak supplys go down. I have a yugo sks It never jams or misfires and i shoot Brown bear ammo wolf ammo and winnchester.
It is very accurate up to 300m. And is very reliable. I have never had a problem with it, and i have a 30r clip and i have put 100s of rounds throught it and still works like new. And it was $189 unissued[;)]
a mini 14 and a mini 30 and they are some of my favorite rifles to shoot. I shoot nothing but Wolf ammo through them and have never had a problem. I think the key to that success is the type of mags I use. The factory Ruger mags are the best, but cost an arm and a leg. The only other mags that I use are Eagle or Ramline which are constructed of smoked black lexan. Again, if you can find one, they too are pretty high priced, but they work excellent in my mini's. Both of my guns are "souped up" with a heavier than stock recoil springs and lighter trigger and sear springs. I can empty a 30 rd. mag in about 7 seconds without any feeding problems. The mags can usually be found on GB, but not too often. Guys want to hang on too them because they don't make them anymore. I love my mini's! Light, reliable, and some serious firepower! I hope Iv'e helped you!
