I'd do the trade myself, but thats me.

How does your Mini Shoot?

 

[GPWASR10]

Do you like AR's?

 

[sticks]

Assuming the AR is in good condition, I'd trade.

 

[Carbine85]

That's a no brainer, you make the trade. Are you putting up any cash? That RRA is about $800.00 new. Your Mini isn't worth that.

 

[Chilly]

I'd take that trade. If he's near W. PA I WILL take that trade, too.

Good deal. Do it. RRA ARs are very nice (I own one). Afterwards, go buy another Mini and enjoy another build project.

If the AR is in ggod shape...make the trade before he changes his mind. You can always get a later model (and better IMO) Mini cheaper than a quality AR.

 

[Slufstuff]

I would make that trade in minute. Based on what you have listed, that trade is VERY favorable to you in money terms.

 

[MERT3500]

i have never owned an ar before but i have always wanted one. to be honest i never really could the mini shoot that well. i feel like im cheating on my girlfriend.....

 

[alaj70]

I'm with Carbine85; this is a no-brainer...get the RRA LAR-15!

 

[SemperFiguy]

Nope, sounds to good, besides what if you can't shoot the AR that well either, then your just left holding onto something you never really wanted, keep the Mini.

 

[higgite]

Keep the Mini 14!! Keep the Mini 14!!.............. oh, yeah.... and give your buddy my phone number.

 

[TNWhip]

I would trade my blue 181 for the AR but not my stainless 188. Do it before he comes to his sences.

 

[litefoot]

If you really like Mini's, then do the trade, sell the AR and upgrade to a 580/581 series. You'll have money left over for extra mags and accessories. (Although from what I'm hearing lately, maybe a 580/581 isn't an upgrade)

 

[MERT3500]

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. Proud owner of a rra now.

Now that you have come to the dark side...the addiction will only grow.

 

[guncats]

my goodness, I thought this is supposedly a "mini supportor" forum! :angry: Why would anybody want to trade an out-of-print / collectable vintage Ruger for a current production "a dime a dozen" black rifle?

good deal, though :lol:

 

[range rat]

Great deal Mert3500. Now go find a deal on a Mini-14. See you on AR15.com.
