I've had a Ruger Mini 30 tactical, model 5854, on order for almost a year now. Tick Tick Tick

Anyone know where I can locate a NEW one of these?

That model is not much in the way of Tactical except for the flash hider. I would look for any Mini 30, then just add a flash hider & I also recommend SS. There are plenty out there, just do a google search of "mini 3o for sale".

Actually, I wish this model came in stainless. I prefer this version because it's almost an inch shorter and, of course, it already has the suppressor. I would take one of the other versions if necessary but NONE of these can be found new on the shelf.

Ruger says they are "allocated" - meaning they disappear as fast as they're manufactured. Makes it very difficult to find.

I placed an order for one in March of this year, at one of the few dealers that would use a waiting list. I did verify with Ruger the rifles are still being shipped.

I'm a big fan of Rugers too, all most all of my guns are Rugers but no high powered as just dont have the space for them without fear of a ricochet getting off somewhere.

Any "good" gunsmith can cut & thread the longer barrel and move the front sight. Best guess would be under $100 including parts/labor so I would stick with SS. Both my Mini's are SS and although I like the look of blue, the SS is much more "abuser friendly":D

Brand new in blue here but pricey:
Ruger Mini 30 Mini-Thirty Tactical 7.62 NEW IN BOX for sale (997747458)

or SS:
Ruger Mini 30 Mini Thirty STAINLESS 7.62 x 39 SKS AK 47 NEW for sale (986787361)

Used but with extra goodies:

I won't do gunbroker anymore after getting the big zazeech from them as a seller, but others have had good luck.

Also if the length does not bother you just ad a slip-on flash hider like I did:

It's a SS Choate with built in sight/ears
