mini 14 factory folders value?

[Gelgoog]

price seems to vary quite a bit on ruger mini-14s, but how much would you think an original factory folder that came on the gun straight from the factory, would be worth? I am guessing that these would be pre-bans?

Around $900 to $1000. The term pre-ban is no longer important in most states, as there is no longer a ban anway.

not sure if thats an original stock though. Original folders with original reciever from the factory seem to be a premium as for as mini-14s go. swapping out a standard mini-14 for an original folder will bring the price down a bit, and repo folders will drop alot.

The gun in the 2nd ad is not an original factory folder. There is an easy way to tell. On original factory folders, the front sling swivel is located on the side. If the the front swivel is located on the bottom, it is a regular Mini 14 to which someone has added a folding stock.
