What's the market value on these now?
Excellent question. :lol: Some of the more RARE Ruger Mark II pistols have received a well earned market notice, but then again, some will languish in safes for a very long time.
While the Ruger Mark II, for a few years, especially after the Ruger Mark III was foisted upon the shooting public, gained some boosted interest, the Ruger Mark IV has now gained even more attention. When asked, a couple of years ago, which variations Ruger made over the years, will be involved with the now "easier to disassemble and clean" Mark IV, the answer was,
"many of the models previously offered". Now, what that means, only time will show.
Like it or not, the new style Ruger Mark IV has addressed some of the issues many owners were complaining about, whether those issues were true or false, doesn't matter, they are a concern to some to the point Ruger took serious notice. Even the Ruger Mark II was a difficult pistol to take-down for some, who obviously felt it should be an easier endeavor.
I'm sorta anxious to see what the future holds for NEW Ruger Mark IV pistols and what variations will contribute to dropping prices of
"Mark II safe queens". So, you never know, and can only speculate if Ruger Mark II pistols, even those that have been coddled and kept NIB, will bring the fortune some expect and have gambled on.
