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

introduced,
it was never a catalog item and didn't appear on their dealer price
sheets. It will remain unfired in my collection.


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.

Ruger makes all of their own wood stocks. It's rather impressive to watch.
