I believe those were made from about 2000 to 2003.
Your series 197 Mini 14 was built in 2004 (or later) by Ruger according to their own website. Look up when your rifle was built there. I purchased a series 197 Ranch rifle in 2005 for around $550.00.
Semi automatic rifle made by Ruger.
No. Your Mini-14 is a 183 series. The first three numbers in the serial number, followed by a dash, are the series code. Ruger made changes to the Mini-14 with the introduction of the 181 series. Many 180 series Mini-14 parts do not interchange with 181 and later series parts.
