Early Desirable Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle
serial #187-00142, 223 Rem, 18 1/2" ''stepped'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This first-year Ranch rifle comes from the personal collection of Stephen Sanetti, former President and COO of Sturm, Ruger & Co., and includes a certificate of authenticity verifying that it was acquired by Mr. Sanetti during his tenure as a member of Ruger's now-defunct ''low serial number'' program, featuring his number ''142''. It remains in excellent overall condition, retaining 99% original blue, showing perhaps a negligible handling mark or two and a few minute flecks of finish toning to brown under direct light. The birch stocks and desirable early handguard rate excellent showing little if any wear with a small gap in fit to the gas block, and the checkered black factory buttplate remains as-new. Included is the factory box, correctly end-labeled and numbered to the gun and retaining an original factory-use shipping label, manual, paperwork, a loose set of Ruger rings, factory 5-round magazine, and an original factory invoice indicating that this rifle left the factory in October of 1982. An early and excellent Mini in a condition not often encountered. (26A11655-2) {MODERN} [The Stephen Sanetti Collection] (1500/2000)
