Bought it new in 1976, although it is not a bicentennial model. Does anyone know what Ruger will give for those? When I called They said I would have to send it in first before they made me a tradein offer. What could I expect to get at a gunshop? Thanks Bryan
Beat to crap .....not much. Like new ....good bucks. Pictures would really tell the story. Just sayin..... Jim
A mini in that (what looks like in pic) pristine, mint condition, that vintage... I'm saying it would be worth around the $700 range. But you'll be sorry if you change it or trade it.. That baby is a keeper. Jim
Yes that is a good lookin gun , only problem is that it is no longer supported by Ruger " cant get parts " the only part of the gun that is something that people really want is the wood handguard. If it was me , I would put a Choate hand guard on it and sell it for as much as you could. Buy a newer Mini in wood and either use the wood hand guard or sell it . The wood handguard fetch's well over 75.00 for the original. At least you would have a newer gun that you could get parts for.
