What is the value of your Ruger 44 mag carbine semiautomatic purchased in the early 1970's?

Answer 1

$12 or less

As with all guns condition is EVERYTHING.....like real estate instead of location it is condition, condition, condition! Second it depends on what the market in your area will bear, 44 mag carbines dont sell well in some states but sell like crazy and at high prices in others. A good example is OH and WV, Ohio does not allow rifles for deer gun season but WV does and as a result these carbines sell better in WV than in OH. Anyway, I will give you three prices based on condtion; fair, very good and excellent. Fair is a gun showing significant wear, dings and rust. Very good is a gun that has been used but looks very good to even looking like new. Excellent is a gun that is new and in the box unfired or test fired only and shows no wear or handling. The variation in the price range is dependant on the market. Fair $250-300 Very good $300-400 Excellent $400-600
