Early and Rare Ruger Mini-30 Semi-Auto Rifle
serial #189-00142, 7.62x39, 18 1/2" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This early Mini 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''. This first-year-of-production rifle remains as-new-in-box, showing only perhaps a light storage mark. It retains its handsome early wooden handguard which remains excellent as well as the standard open sights, target blocks, and safety features. Included is the original factory box, correctly end-labeled and numbered to the gun, as well as a loose pair of blued Ruger factory rings which rate excellent, original manual and paperwork, a single 5-round 7.62-marked factory magazine, and an original factory invoice indicating that this particular rifle left the factory in July of 1987. A early and complete example made sweeter by its provenance. (26A11655-4) {MODERN} [The Stephen Sanetti Collection] (1200/1800)
