Ruger 10/22 appraisal help

[SirK]

I'm looking at selling this Custom fit Ruger, it has a Ruger reciever, a volquartson stainless barrel 20 or 19in, and a Bell and Carlson varmit stock?

i just need a little help on appraising this gun for sale, thank you.

As a rule, I wouldn't expect to get anywhere near the value of the parts in the gun. The "fun" of a 10/22 is in the building, and they are so easy to work on, most people enjoy doing so. Most people buy a stock 10/22 and build it the way THEY want it to be, and its unlikely anyone will share your vision enough to pay you a premium for the build, when for the same money, thye can build one EXACTLY to their own specs. I'd aim for about $325-350.....

Not to be insulting, but this is how I see it:

Funky stock that's useless to me. I'm probably going to have to sell it at a loss and replace with one I want.

Heavy barrel that isn't what I want. Ditto.

Maybe keep the scope rail. That leaves me with a trigger pack and receiver. How does $95 sound?

You will do much, much better parting it out yourself. Trying to sell a custom rifle is like trying to find a date for your left handed, redhead, walleyed, dyslexic cousin. It ain't going to be easy or fast.

Not to be insulting, but...

But you're going to be anyway???

I have to disagree and say that the rifle will probably sell rather quickly.....to the right crowd. Nothing funky about it, the stock is excellent, just rather specialized in purpose. To sell it outright, figure on getting 50-75% of what you have invested. You have to also remember that when you figure in the cost of the basic rifle, you need to either include the original parts in the deal, or exclude them from pricing considerations. Don't figure in $250 for the basic rifle if all you're not including the original barrel and stock. In the end, you're far better off parting it out. I would suggest posting it at RimfireCentral.

I agree...part it out for the most money. The scope and barrel are an excellent combo...best set up for accuracy when the scope is barrel mounted. Someone will like the stock but likely already has a 10/22 they want to upgrade.

I would return the rifle to original and sell it then sell the parts. If you don't have the original parts you can still part it out...people pay silly prices for 10/22 receivers on gunbroker.
