I have been shopping for a GB model for some time. Found one pretty close to me and have a question. The rifle is a blued, non- folder. It has the bayonet lug and LEO flash hider. It does not have the stamped lettering designating it Law Enforcement Only. 182 series. Legit?
Price varies greatly depending on condition. When you say "Good" condition, is that a subjective evaluation, or are you going by NRA grading standards?
I just bought one, 184 series also. It was a prison issue rifle here in Ohio. Paid 500 for it, stock in good shape, but missing rear sight. The gun shop I bought it at in Columbus, has another store on the south side of the city, and they have one just like it but without any LE markings. They want 700 for it, and the stock is missing a good bit of finish.
Not trying to steal anybody's thunder, so I hope it's O.K. to ask ... anybody got a good guess as to the value of 2 N.I.B. stainless - folding stock - GB's ???
Yeah, I have a weakness for the older 182-184 series Mini 14 GB models---have two---a blued one that I bought new in the early 80s and a stainless rifle brought used (but really nice) that I bought in the late 80s---neither has LEO markings but they do have the so-called "rack numbers" in addition to the usual serial numbers. I have no idea what they're worth these days, but they are not for sale...
Thanx for the opinions ... neither is for sale at this time ... but if/when that changes, I promise I will put them up here first. These guns have only been touched by humans a few times and are in PERFECT shape.
If you haven't already found a correct original rear sight for your Mini-14, I have one for sale - $30 shipped. It is a complete, very good condition take-off from my late 1977 180 series. Email me if interested at wingshot37@yahoo.com. If I do not hear from you in a few days, I will be posting for sale on Gunboards.
