Quick Question for a PRO

[SiLenTSPeakeR]

hello and Thanks for stopping by,

i just had a question for any of you calgunnes that stopped by.

I am in the market for a Ruger Mini 30 and have found a couple of them for sale. The odd thing is that it seems that there is no buyer but me. All the mini 30's have no competition from other buyers. Is there a reason why?

does the general population of gun/rifle owners dislike the Mini 30? Is ammo for the Mini30 problematic?

Just thought I might as a PRO!

Any and all feedback is greatly Appreciated.

Thanks!

-Steve

They're not as popular because they take rarer and expensive magazines. Parts aren't as common. Etc.

Mini-14's probably sell 5-to-1 compared to Mini-30's.

Because people who shoot 7.62X39 like AK's and SKS's.

If you want to shot 762x39 just get an Ak, easy as that.

I just paid $419 out the door on a 7.62x39 Saigai, which is like a white trash version of a mini-30 ( I know this isnt accurate, just the best approximation I can make). I'd recommend that route. Never owned a 30, but had a mini-14 and wasnt impressed with what I got for the money. If you're really set on stainless, maybe have a Saiga nickel plated? I personally wouldn't go that route but I'd sure like to see it.

+1, nothing wrong with the rifle or the parts or even the ammo. It usually comes down to the mags with this rifle. The Magazines work and are reliable but hard to find and cost a lot.
