Very nice! Sorry to hear about the cousin.
New mini owner. (Pictures)

Howdy, I picked up this mini 14 for a steal... $400 for the gun, 1100rds, 14 mags (9 30rd, 2 40rd, 2 5rd, and 1 20rd), a gun case and 2 steel ammo cans. 
There is a catch... I bought the rifle off my father. The history of this rifle is this. My father gave this rifle to my cousin. He was my best friend, and we shot his rifle (this gun) and my Ak all the time. He ended up dieing in a plane crash several years ago. My father received the rifle back and locked it up in the gun safe for the past 5 years.
The weekend after Christmas I talked him into selling it to me. Since then I have put a new stock on, refinished the bluing, and added a front grip and light. Sadly I haven't had a chance to shoot it again, but I'm very eager to get to the range and try out the new stock.
Enough talk time for some pictures.

Yeah it was a steal... I offered him $550 for just the rifle and a few mags. He told me he would take $300 for everything. Then we realized how much ammo was there, so I offered him another $100 for the ammo.
Yes you should have a scratch can be fixed.
I Had not done much research on the gun so i wasn't even sure I'f the price i was paying was good. Rookie mistake. I'll know next time.
