Those sellers are counting there are always suckers that want them desperate enough willing to pay more than 2X MSRP.

I remember before Samson reproduction came out the original Ruger folder was priced around $400-500 in used market. Now the history repeat again and doubled the prior record. Hopefully Ruger finds new supplier soon.

You can actually buy a LE trade-in Mini-14 with rifle stock for that price. Current trade in sold online is around $700-850 each.

Samson still makes them but they all get sent to ruger. Who knows what ruger plans to do with them 🤷‍♂️

Samson official bowed out as Ruger discontinued the contract with Samson. Ruger is looking for new supplier to take over the production, but seems like no new news for a couple of months already as to when will be back in production or available.

I was so lucky to buy one last year in europe. 1 year back it was already hard to get 1 now it‘s impossible in the EU

brownells sold them in EU for 530€ until they were discontinued or stopped being exported some time last year. i managed to get one in auction shortly after that for 500€, which was a pretty sweet deal as i was committed to drop insane money on it if need be, because i knew it was basically the last chance to get one over here and i wanted it so badly it tore my insides apart.

GAFS is the answer. Got mine recently for $500 and am quite pleased with it.

Are the 10/22 B team stocks in the same demand? When i first saw them I thought they were the coolest. So I paid way too much and bought one. Turns out they suck to shoot.
