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.

  I purchased an Arsenal Inc AK 47 a couple months ago, its my first AK type rifle. I've been very impressed with this rifle. I am now considering purchasing a Ruger Mini 30 and attaching a folding stock. Any experiences with this rifle? Thanks in advance for any comments.

  Sold an old 1990's mini-14 wood stock, which I checkered, on ebay and I also showed in the ebay auction pictures that the stock also fit on a mini-30. So at least the wood stocks exchange one way.

  Hi,
  The Mini 30 magazine is wider along with the mag well and then some than the Mini 14. You could probably work a wood Mini 14 stock to accept the Mini 30 components. With wood that makes the vise versa a no go. Stop by your local Ruger dealer and check them out side by side.

  Will the stock off a Mini 14 fit on a Mini 30 or vise versa???
  
  
  Yes, as long as you are not talking about a very early Mini-14 stock.
  
  Mini-14 and Thirty rifles with serial numbers 181-xxxxx and higher and serial numbers 581-xxxxx and higher use the exact same stock.

  I fitted a Mini30 barreled action to a Mini14 stock. I had to do a lot of sanding to allow the action to fit in the magazine well area. It took a couple of hours but then everything worked fine.
