Rare Southport Mini 14
As requested here are pictures of the Southport Model I found. Rifle is in excellent condition.

It came with the original box, warranty card and curiously enough a 181 series manual. I believe the original owner sent the rifle back to Ruger for service in 1980 as there is a postage stamp on the box from 1980. I suspect the manual was provided then.

Serial number is 180-00783.

Ruger records department advised the rifle was sold January 1975.

Enjoy!

When I looked up my 181-xxxxx book on line, it was for the 182 series. I think it's like numbering the Century- 21st for the 2000's, etc.

That's a very cool looking rifle. I like the appearance of those original receivers.
