Appraise my mini, please - The Firearms Forum

I have a Stainless Ruger Mini-14 Ranch rifle I am considering parting with. It is approx 8 years old in EXELLENT condition, been to the range 4 times. I dont know if I should sell this stuff seperatly or as a package?
I have:
* the rifle
* a Butler Creek SS folding stock
* stainless flash supressor
* Ruger stainless rings
* 2 unfired SS 20rd mags
* 2 SS 40rd mags
I plan on taking it to the gun show in 2 weeks so any advice is appreciated. I would like to know a price for the rifle alone and then as a package.

THANKS!!!!

I'd say, for the gun, 500. The rings are part of the gun, and should go with it. Most people that shoot minis are of the opinion that aftermarket magazines are crap. Those mags don't have "Ruger" stamped into them, so I doubt you'd get anyone to buy them. I'd just throw them in with the gun. The stock can be bought new, at midway, for 85 dollars. I'd mark it 75 for the stock separately, and if someone bought the gun AND the folding stock, throw it in for 60 or 65. I have no idea on the flash suppressor.

I have not tried the 20rd mags but the 40rd mags function perfect, I have never had a feed problem. I do not even see them at midway, they are better quality than I see now.

Bump, any other opinions?

Unless someone really wants it $550 to $600 max. Too many changes to the new breed of Mini's. If it shoots well I would keep it unless you just have to have the money.
Gun show or trade in will probably get $450 max.
