Desirable Ruger “Southport” Mini-14 Bicentennial Semi-Auto Rifle

Lot # 1014 (Sale Order: 15 of 667)      

serial #180-50155, 223 Remington, 18 1/2" “stepped” pencil barrel with a bright very good plus bore showing a few minute pinprick pits nearer the muzzle with robust rifling throughout. This rifle retains about 95% original blue, showing light handling and high edge wear with a few of the cast components showing some mild imperfections. The smooth birch stock rates very good, showing expected light dings and handling marks, with the main apology being a roughly 3/8” chip missing from the toe of the grip; the desirable and short-lived wooden handguard remains in excellent condition and displays excellent fit. This third-year-of-production Mini was produced in 1976 and bears expected “MADE IN THE 200th YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY” rollmark which remains crisp and excellent. This example is equipped with the second-pattern exposed bolt stop and second-pattern tool-adjustable aperture rear, an evolution from the prior M1A-style features, and was among the first to be equipped with its now-familiar fixed blade front sight and fixed sling swivels. Included are three factory 5-round magazines. Relatively few of these rifles were made at the Southport facility before moving production north into New Hampshire with examples manufactured in the 200th year of American liberty being even more scarce, making this early and high-condition example a lovely find for the Ruger collector.

The metal surfaces of this 1965-manufactured carbine retain 97% plus blue and black anodized finishes showing only scattered light handling wear focused mostly on the aluminum components.
