Hey, ev'rybody.

I've a Mini-14 ranch in the black-oxide finish that's had ~500 rounds through it (+-150) of WWB and UMC factory ammo through it. It's an alright rifle, but I'd like to replace it. In a previous thread when I brought up the issue about replacing the Mini, someone suggested an SKS, and I think that's just dandy. I'd like to get two SKS-es (Yugo, preferably), because one reason I don't get to ze rifle range very often is that my dad doesn't like taking me, because he gets bored (and he doesn't want to shoot the mini, because he thinks it makes me bored)...

Which, in an infuriatingly longwinded fashion, brings me to my point:

What would my Mini be worth, in you guys' opinion(s), and, comparatively, what would a pair of Yugo SKS-es run me/my dad.

Additionally, if there's a Highroader here in the vicinity of DFW with two SKS-es he/she would be willing to sell, and/or knew a gunshop around here that has a couple, I'd be all sorts of appreciative. I, THR's local 17-year-old-who-can't-buy-guns-legally, am inquiring because my dad told me to investigate the issue and report back (just so no mods close this for being about illegal activity, or anything.)

Might want to put it up in the buy, sell, trade rifle forum. You might get some takers in your area. A used sparingly(like your Mini-14) SKS is worth about 100-125. You could probably get 300-375 for your Mini. You might want to just sell your Mini-14 and get a couple of SKS's and some ammo from Auction Arms or Shotgun News.
 
SKS's can be had for as cheap as $100 after shipping for a shooter grade.
Around here a Mini-14 goes for about $425 with 1 post-ban mag.
Hope this helps.
 
At the last several DFW-area gun shows, decent-to-unissued Yugo SKS's were running $139-$159.
