200 year Mini-14

[FRANK1669]

I have a Ruger Mini-14 that has ( MADE IN THE 200th YEAR OF AMERICAN LIBERTY) stamped on the reciever well actually i have 2 one has been fired the other is unfired. Are these worth anything. I plan on giving the fired one to my sister. If it has collectors value I would consider selling it so I can get a new on and some ammo thanks Jerry

I don't know if Ruger put that mark on everything they made in 1976, but it appears on a lot of guns. It is interesting, but AFAIK, brings no premium over an unmarked gun of the same model in the same condition.
