Just got back from a big gun show in KCMO, suppose to be 1,000 tables, biggest in state. I was there early, one of the first to get in. I went to buy some Golden Bear 7.62x39 ammo for my Mini 30 and did get it for a fair price at $137 a case. Others had it at a rip off price at $200. I saw possibly 20 M4 style rifles, again not that bad at $1,100 to $1,300 as I was expecting to see them at $1,500 to $2,000. I see on Ebay, there are 2 Ruger Mini 14 30 round mags, one with 9 bids at $120 and another with 23 bids at $132.50. At the gun show, they were still around $35. WHAT I DID NOT SEE WERE ANY MINI 14'S OR MINI 30'S. Just a few AK 47's also. I was surprised that NO Rugers were there. Go figure.

Big show here in Fort Worth. I didn't go, but friends were telling me there were tons of ARs, most of them over priced. Not sure about Minis though.

minis arent cool anymore guys.. they are old man guns.

and dont blow ur top when u read that cuz I am a mini owner by choice

I hope Minis stay so uncool that they fly under the AR ban radar.

Maybe california would propose to ban anything with a detachable magazine; Federally any magazine with double stack configuration would be outlawed (primers much line up in one straight line).

:wacko:

The minis dryed up after election day. I haven't seen any from the big Ruger distributors, Davidsons, Lipseys or Ables. Check out current bid prices on gunbroker, up to $1790 for a plainjane SS/synthetic, 5 rnd mag NIB ranch rifle. I guess minis are now more popular than AR's.

We just got back from a Gun show in Corpus Christi and it was nuts. I saw a few Mini14's but didn't catch the prices. What blew me away was the AR's, rifles that were $800 to $1000 last month were $1800 to $2000+ and mags, 30 round GI mags were $30 each. And they were selling out???? Ammo prices were up a bit but not to bad ......yet. I'm glad I started rolling my own and started stocking up last year.........
