Value of Ruger Mini-30 First Year(#186) Never been fired.

I picked this up from a friend whos father passed away a few months back.
He and his brother owned a gun store many years ago.
This on was in the back of the room he stored them in.
It has never been fired but I am itching to shoot it.

Any boost to value if never been fired?
May be willing to trade or sell.

Thanks!

Any boost to value if never been fired?

Pretty much always with any firearm (one exception might be a home-assembled AR).

I did browse around a bit before
Was just curious if it being first year unshot added value.

Thanks!

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.(No smartassness intended).
I have come across a few collectors of the mini series and have seen a few unfired original series and they were priced all over
One was 1100 and one was 2000 new no box or anything.
Seen one with the box for 1600.

Mind you these were in person prices not internet.
