This is a Ruger Mini-30.
It shoots the same ammunition as an ak47. This gun was introduced in 1973 and has been widely available ever since. It accepts high capacity detachable magazines and fires in semi-auto fashion.

Back when Walmart and most hardware stores carried guns This rifle was almost always present on the shelf.

These weapons have been common and popular in America long before school shootings started happening.

The availability of guns is not causing people to commit murder. Guns have always been easy to get here. Politicians pushing gun grab laws are selling fear, but they are not solving problems
needed $800 for it thanks

Wrong subsection for "sell" and,

Lots of WTF going on in what I guess you can call a WTS add.

That is why I said it is a scam. Absolutely nothing right about this post.

The mini 30 is and was a stupid idea and the rifle is a piece of crap.

There, now there is something right about this thread.

I don’t know the Mini-30 is a piece of crap or not but that is funny.

I always thought the mini30 was was old "Assault Weapon Ban" supporting Bill Ruger's bad attempt to mainstream the even poorer attempt he made with the mini14, by making use of the cheap import ammo. I did not care for the prices or minute of barn side accuracy on them back then or now. Never saw a reason to buy either the 30 or 14 over a quality AK or AR then or now. I can accept that maybe things have changed.

I have a small spot in my collection for Ruger. I have some die hard Ruger friends and have shot most of what they make. Loved my Ruger old school Vaquero in .45 Colt. Even the old beefy P-89 was a good but large 9mm pistol. Ruger's MK whatever .22 pistols were good for their time too. After a new stock, trigger job and bedding I have been impressed with M-77s in .260 and 7mm Mag at distance and on game. Yeah, I got my flame suit handy.

With so many period and modern options, I have not bought a Ruger in ten plus years. No need.

At some point I want to build up a custom .22lr semi on an aftermarket 10/22 receiver, but it's not a factory Ruger.
