Price Check, Ruger Mk II

[BostonBullit]

I know someone who is looking to sell this Ruger MK II that's been sitting in a safe for the past 10yrs and I'm trying to help determine a fair market price for it. Full Disclosure: I may also be interested in buying it myself to go with the tapered barrel model I currently have. Anyway, it's kitted out for Bullseye shooting with an old AimPoint 2000 red dot, some form of add-on comp, a few mags, and a few sets of grips including a wooden with rest. I have no info on round count and haven't seen the interior condition of the barrel, and no idea if it's had any internal work done like a Volquartsen trigger or similar enhancement; I'm waiting to hear back on that now.

So what's the concensus (sp?)....if you tripped over this in a local shop case what would you expect the price tag to read?

nothing? no one wants to make an educated guess?

check Gunbroker for the high end prices, the classifieds here for local rates.

Also, check the prices in stores and see what they are asking.

gun shop price and FTF price are vry different in my opinion. Some fudd in a store would sit on that for $$$$ for years. But to sell it within a reasonable time period I think around $300 is probably a ballpark price for the pistol without the sight. Old technology like that Aimpoint is probably worth about $1 to me. Your millage may vary.

but do your own search!

Thanks guys. I have already done a full inventory of gunbroker so I know those prices as well as a few other spots around the innerwebs. I checked a few local shop websites but there aren't a lot of Mk IIs listed, and I don't have time to tour around the region looking for some...especially for a gun I'm only half interested in (probably rather put a pac-lite upper on my current Mk II), just trying to help out the owner a bit. I posted here because I figured a lot of NESers are in their local shops frequently and everyone HAS to poke around the cases when they're at the shop so I might get more "I've seen one for $xx at yyy shop" type replies...

My shootin' partner just got a 4" tapered bbl Mark II with a scope mount & two mags for $200. Had some holster wear, too, it looked like.

2-3 years back I got my Mark II 5.5" bull barrel w/2 mags for about $250.

That help any?

275 ish, give or take 25 bucks

The MK series is not a big money gun, nor is the optic that is on it.

300 if the owner can show you how to take it apart and put it back together as a functioning firearm!

If it has a VQ trigger/sear/hammer or any other upgrades I might pay a bit more than $300 for it, depending on what kind of shape it's in. Interesting brake on that thing.

took mine apart to clean it last week and was amazed that I got it back together on the second try, under 3mins! definitely a new personal best .

$300 was the first number that popped into my head, looks like I was in the right neighborhood. I asked about any internal work but the owner hasn't gotten back to me yet.

that comp/break does indeed look interesting, my concern is that it's held in place by a grub screw that's been torqued to high hades and marred the barrel, haven't seem the gun in person so I don't know.

I have a MK1 . I've never taken it apart
