Ruger Mark II NRA Edition

[maxicon]

If it's like the 50th anniversary model (and it looks like it is), it's a bit retro, in that the sights aren't adjustable and it's not drilled for a scope mount. This makes it worth less to some people who want a shooter with an optic on it. They started drilling and tapping the MkII somewhere in the middle of the production run, and older ones require either 'smithing or a mount that replaced the rear sight.

If you want it for the special features, it's worth a bit more than a standard MkII. If you want a shooter, it's worth the same, or a bit less if you care about DnT.

Not sure about the stamp. Is the stamp good or...?

The 50 Year Anniversary is rollmarked on top of the receiver it makes it more valuable because it is rarer

Its not mine, it was offered to me for a good price. I was just wondering if there was a potential to turn it.

Well why dont you pass a good deal on to a fellow Calgunner?

A regular bare bones non-bull bbl blued mk II just sold here for $210 last week and it looked to be pretty clean still. It wasn't the special edition, but otherwise the same pistol.

I also just bought a stainless mk II with the longer bbl and the "government model" designation for $300. Those had their barrels laser aligned since they were being sold as marksmanship trainers and might be worth a bit more than a regular mk II..but anyways, I'd say between $200 to $300 bucks since you can get other desirable models for 3 bills.

Don't get it! It won't be easy to turn it and make a profit.

Short blue pencil barrel is a very bad combo.

The appeal of this pistol is its being collectable.
If its one of the ones with a serial number between one and a hundred, this would raise its value.
I purchased one in that range for my son when he was 5.
It is my hope that it will be quite valuable one day, as the series of MK IIs are quite popular.
I would think one would purchase it for collecting and not shooting. That was my intent for my boy.

The above for $399.00

Possibly buy it, and store it away, a couple more years and it will just go up some more...
