Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Collector Mini 14???!!!

[KYOUNG]

I got a Bicentennial Mini 14 NIB. would it be a shame to shoot this or should i trade it for a SS one to burn rounds thru.



Is this Mini 14 worth anything?



Thanks, Kevin

If it was worth anything extra, it would be unfired. I'm not sure that it is. Maybe when the Tricentennial rolls around. I might keep it if I planned on passing it along in the family. If I were to run ammo through it, I'd trade up to a newer model that is more accurate. I picked up a target version that I like to switch off to, and it's a whole lot more accurate, plus I think you may have a parts issue with your rifle.

Any special edition firearm can be considered of no greater value once it has been shot.



Anything like that is better off as a safe queen.



If it hasn't been fired, it may be worth additional money to either a Mini-14 or Ruger collector, but how much is dependent on a multitude of issues.
