Mini-14 Serial # ????

[Fattrad1]

I just purchased a used Mini with the serial #196-72161. Having just looked at the Ruger page, I am unable to determine the year of manufacture. Many 196's, but none with a 70000 range, any help out there????

Looks like it was made in 2001...Welcome to the forum!
