My latest is a new old stock Ruger Mini Thirty chambered in 7.62 X

The Mini 30 was introduced in 1986 and went into production in 1987.
Don't know anything about your TBZ stock.

Sorry.* 1991 was when the stainless Mini Thirty was introduced.* I
should have been more specific.* If by TBZ stock you mean the "tree
bark" laminate you won't find it in your Google searches.* That's why
it's a collectors item.* It's a 27 year-old brand new firearm that was
never offered to their distributors.



Wowser. Actually, I didn't have to google it. I spent some time
researching the "mini" series before and after I bought my Mini-14. So,
you have an old, unused Mini-30 on a stock Ruger sourced. I'm sure it
has value...to you.


Green looks "right" on you.
