Aluminum 10/22 Trigger Housings

[PapaDetail]

Is there any value or desirability in old 10/22 aluminum silver trigger housings?

Have a couple of these that I won’t use and hoping there’s a market for them just hoping to get some input.

Will post in classifieds if I get a positive result here.

Thanks!

Sure, there's some value as a starting place for the tinkerer types to rebuild with choice parts. I don't know what that value might be.

A lot of folks don't like the "plastic junk".
I can make them both shoot good, so the only time I care is if it's a collectable gun, then, whatever came stock.
Value?
Mostly cheap old buggers on here looking for a gun show deal from 1975..... Good luck.

Yep that’s me, always looking for a deal
Yes there is value. Probably guessing about 50 bucks

Would that be each or for both?

Oh, I’d say more than $50. And that’s each. I bet you could get at least $75 each. If not more.

People really don’t like the plastic parts as mentioned above.

Just search RimfireCentral for a few minutes and you would see

Heck I'd offer $20 each, but now that someone with no interest is getting the price jacked to $75 I'll offer a true assessment . I think based on my area a realistic value would probably be $60 shipped or $110 both. Especial on some place like rimfire central, but you might get it here too.

$50 ea
That doesn’t mean to list them for that, you could always ask more and negotiate down. It’s hard to negotiate up. I was just giving you my opinion on what they were worth.

I personally have an aversion to plastic gun parts, but then I try not to buy them in the first place.

however there does seem to be a market for those like me that might find themselves in need of replacement for plastic, new build, or whatever.

hope these help for reference, good luck!

presumably take-offs for $75

Black ones are worth about $50. Silver ones are worth a little more. It also depends on the era as the coating/paint differs. I'd give $100 shipped for two silver ones but I don't need them.

The last complete and perfect condition black one I bought on eBay was $55.51 shipped.

The last two I sold on eBay had a metal barrel band with them so the much higher price was because they were package deals, over $100. But metal bands are more scarce than triggers and even more scarce are metal but plates.
