Hi. Looking for a little help. I am planning on buying a Mini 14 off a buddy. He bought it in the early 90s. It is a ranch rifle with scope. I see they sell brand new now for well over a thousand. What's a fair price to give him for it? It's in good shape, hardly used over the years and has a scope.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks
 
Mini 14’s at around the 581 series for serial numbers had improvements like thicker barrels for better accuracy. Older series of mini 14’s (like from the 90’s) should go for less money. Look on the EE to get an idea of prices.
 
I sold one a while back with a scope and mount for about $750.

It's always a question of condition, accessories, and model type.

A rusted 1990's one with a single 5 rd mag might be worth $550.

A stainless steel one of new manufacture with 3x 20/5 and 3x 30/5 plus a scope mount, plus a scope, plus a case would be worth considerably more.

A folding stock (A-team model) is worth more than a standard wood stock...there's a lot of variables.

That said, and I can echo this from personal experience.

The two happiest days of a Mini-14 owner's life are they day they buy the rifle, and the day they sell it.

The one I had would not print more than 5 shots on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper at 100m. At 25m, it was printing a 4" group.

Fun to shoot - terrible accuracy.
