Ruger Rifle Barrel Question

[Anonymous]

I am looking to sell two Ruger barrels I inherited. One is a 24" heavy .220 Swift, the other is a 22'' heavy .243. Both made in 1976 with the words "Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" on them. Can anyone out there give me an estimate on value ?? They both are in good shape with no rust. Any help is much appreciated.

The factory "V" Varmint barrels for the #1 were 26" for the 220 Swift and 24" for the 243.

The 243 "V" was only cataloged from 1983 through 1985 so I'd be very surprised if the 243 is in fact a 1976 "V" barrel.

The Swift barrel might bring something from $50 to $100 predicated on wear etc.

If the 243 is really a "V" barrel I would guess it at $200 or so.

If the 243 is a true "V" is should have the flat target crown and the diameter at the muzzle should be .749 or very very close to that if it's in fact a true factory "V" barrel.

Hope this helps.

Are they M77 or No.1 barrels?
