Description:
Guns Listing ID: 597483
Offered here is an outstanding and exceptionally excellent example of a 1982 Ruger Mini-14. This stainless steel early-production Mini-14 features the classic pre-Ranch Rifle configuration that collectors consistently seek out. The rifle retains its original walnut stock with rich grain, clean lines, and close to zero handling marks, while the stainless receiver and barrel remain bright, uniform, and free of notable wear. Mechanically, the action is smooth, tight, and true to the reputation of the early Mini-14 series.
This rifle includes a rare and desirable accessory package: five 20-round steel magazines, two 30-round steel magazines, one 10-round magazine, one 5-round magazine, the original Ruger factory manual, and a Butler Creek folding stock for the Mini-14/30. The folding stock alone is highly sought after for its iconic design and is a significant value-add for both shooters and collectors.
Early Mini-14 rifles, particularly the 180–184 series guns like this one, have become increasingly collectible due to their unique place in Ruger’s production history. These rifles were built with clean machining, smooth operating systems, and a classic Mini profile that predates the later Ranch Rifle redesign. The Garand-inspired action, short-stroke piston system, and rugged stainless construction gave these rifles a reputation for reliability that helped cement the Mini-14 as an American staple. Many enthusiasts argue that the early stainless models offer superior fit, finish, and character compared to later production runs, and examples in this level of preserved condition are becoming scarce.
This 1982 Mini-14 stands out not only because of its superb condition but also because it represents a highly collectible era of Ruger manufacturing. Combined with the extensive magazine collection, original documentation, and the Butler Creek folding stock, this rifle offers tremendous value for both shooters and collectors seeking a premium early Mini-14 package. All firearms are sold as is, with no warranties, expressed or implied.
