Ruger Mini 14 with Original Folding stock Question

[mr.ak47]

Alright Guys I have a Mini 14 183 series gun stainless with a Folding Stock (The A-team gun). I called ruger a little bit ago to confirm that the stock was Original to the gun, he said the computer didn't go back that far but looking at his manual there was a few of the Mini's in the 183 series That came with the folding stock. This being one of them.  I have debated on selling it, as I'm moving most of my .223 stuff out in favor of boosting my 7.62x39 stock pile lol. My question is what would be a fair market price for this I've seen everywhere from 800-1600,1600 being the only stainless 183 series folding stock gun I found. The gun is honestly probably in about 95-97% shape does have a few light scratches on the wood no major dings,no pitting on the stainless bore is bright and shiny,Only thing is it doesn't have the factory rear sight looks to have been replaced in the mid to late 80's for a Mark IV red dot, Also have a stainless Heat shield for it.Really the debate now is weather I'm going to keep it as a pass down item since it's a bit of a rareity or post it after I upgrade my account again lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here are a few pics

perfectunion.com forum is likely your best source for the question. Original folding stocks are pretty desirable best I know from when I used to spend time there. Might be possible to sell the stock for about the same with or without the rifle, actually, either there or eBay, and add a replacement stock to the rifle if you wanted to keep it.

Yeah, GB stocks are rare, those stock sets alone I've seen sell for as much as another Mini. I've wanted one for a long time but just never had the right funds at the right time, mostly the right funds part. :p
