Mini 14 in Nato 5.56. Would prefer a mini ranch. If you have one I have some silver. Give me a PM with what you want and pics.
thanks, I'm a FFL (curios and relics).

Very nice rifle.... Good luck. Cheers, RickO
How about a Winchester Model 24 12 ga. double barrel shotgun? It qualifies as a curio and relic as it was made in the 1950s. Just inherited and don't really need it...

mbogoman thanks and tempting but looking for a small varmint gun and I think the mini 14 is perfect.
I've enjoyed the mini 14 for how compact and reliable they can be. For fun enjoyable shooting I've made the switch to a CZ 22 Hornet, accurate, but would have issues with dropping coyotes and such at a distance. Last gun my dad and I had bought together so I tend to baby it. With doing my own reloads the casings can last 8-10 reloads till the neck starts to become thin.
I'm looking at coyote hunting next winter....for the pelts. .22 Hornet is a great round as well, very versatile for small game. i've never attempted to reload but do not hesitate to buy reloads when available.

i like the mini 14 as well.
I love the 22 Hornet round
Cartridge Type: Rifle
Height: 1.017"
Width: 0.350"
Average FPS: 2719
Average Energy: 706
Average Gr: 43
Recoil: 0.54
Power Rank: 1.17 of 20
The .22 Hornet was designed back in the 1920's and was based off the .22 WCF and makes for a good small varmint round if you can find a gun to shoot it. Being from the early part of the 1900s this round was used widely on the farms and ranches at a time when most Americans actually worked on the farms. Back when families as large as 6-12 people were normal.
Since the .22 Hornet's inception many other faster and more accurate rounds have been adopted by varmint hunters, but for the price you really can't beat the cost per round on the hornet, and if you happen to reload then they are even cheaper of course.

5.56 rounds are about 10¢ a round....pretty cheap in my mind. Hornets are 50¢ or more per round. Nato 5.56 is available everywhere, Hornet rounds no so much. In addition the Hornet rifles are a bunch more money.....I'll stick with my original search, thanks.

I am not disagreeing [I never do that talking with fellow coin/firearm collectors but a quick search at 'Cabela's' shows
5.56 Nato Bulk ammo is a little more than 50 cents per round while 22 Hornet in smaller lots is 20 cents per round.
But I may be wrong

Ruger makes a very good firearm at good prices, but the only Rugers I have are a Mark II and a Security Six. Good luck in your quest.
If that was a model 21 I would be tempted.
I'd get a good bolt action in 25-06 for better accuracy and power out to 500 yards for those wiley coyotes.
Knowledge is the enemy of fear
You might put your offer over at https://www.perfectunion.com the place for all things Mini 14. I'm over there with the same handle.
Ruger Mini 30; cheaper to shoot and knocks down larger things... 7.62 X 39
Will check it out.

I prefer my 300 Winchester Magnum for vaporising varmints.
At a steal for just five dollars a round.
My 50 cal will get out and get them, too. But, then I usually do not have any pelt left....!!

I'm happy with my 22 rifle. Fairly new. CZ455 Ultra Lux with 28 inch barrel.
Very quiet and I got it to save my ears.
The extra long barrel makes the open notch sights work fine.
I also appreciate the merits of the sometimes maligned Mini 14
It will skip a 50 gal barrel at 400 yards at Camp Far West.
Good choice.
CZ makes quality!
Screwed up. Didn't notice this was Precious Metals.
I better get a scope.
ACME makes a good example , also if you buy 3 they toss in a free anvil
Not that I sell anything, but PM sent.
I sold the Mini-14 a few years ago and kept the Marlin 336W as my only rifle. My current Ruger has a shorter barrel but is not any quieter.
@VanHalen...The GP100 is an excellent handgun... and those are nice grips. Cheers, RickO
@AUandAG check out armslist. Depends on your area obviously but I've had some luck trading PMs for guns on both sides. Mini 14 ranch is the perfect truck gun and easier to carry and store than AR15 imo.
Never heard of armslist and will sure check out.
bob
It's pretty much like craigslist but for things that go bang. Like craigslist, be sure to meet up at a safe location.
There's also gunbroker.com which is like eBay for guns and related items.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
GunBroker and GunsAmerica I'm familiar with and have use GunsAmerica to sell some off. Both great sites for sure.
bob
Also, auctionarms.com is a good site.

bookmarked them all!!
thanks!
