Does anyone know the current market value of this stock. The only information I could find is over 4 years old. Thanks

How much do you want? The last one I saw for sale at a Gun store was $250 ( about a year ago).

Not sure about a Federal Ordnance folding stock but Sampson Manufacturing has a Mini-14 folding stock for $324.99.

This doesn't answer the OP's question. Apples and Oranges.

True, but it is not clear what the OP is going to do. Is he looking to sell one he's got? Is he looking to get a value for an insurance claim? Is he trying to see if a price on one he's looking to buy is too high or low? Without knowing his intent, I merely offered information I thought would be helpful to the OP in placing a current value on a similar product.

 

[40nascar]

Your over thinking this. Take the OP's post at face value.

 

[Larry Cheek]

Considering selling this stock. Was looking for a fair market value. The only sale I could find was on eBay 3/2018 which sold for $350.

I can believe it. Especially if it is a series180- only stock. Stocks for first generation mini-14's are very rare. Factory or aftermarket.

 

[Larry Cheek]

My mini is a series 181. I purchased this stock in a factory box around 1980 and my mini was installed on it until 6 years ago when I replaced it with the factory stock that came with my mini.

I think $350 would be at the high end for your stock. Most people would probably prefer a Samson as it is nearly a dead ringer for an original Ruger folder. In today's market, maybe $300 for the aftermarket stock, to a motivated collector. IMHO.

IDK what a Collector might pay for your stock; depends a lot on its' condition, and motivation of buyer.

For the most part, the FedOrd underfolder stocks were prone to wear in their joints, negatively affecting accuracy. If selling it, be prepared to answer questions about its' wear/looseness at these points, as well as other questions about its' condition.

 

[RIBob]

@40nascar: Ever owned a FedOrd underfolder? I have, and got rid of it for reasons stated above.

Suggest that if you have something helpful and productive to add to the conversation, then do so.

If not, then perhaps silence is the best policy.

Go back and play at the stinky PU!
