skipjackone

I've a Ruger Mark I upper; 6" tapered barrel. Mfg date is 1979.
Overall condition is fair, rifling is good.
What is the approximate value?

I could not find a completed auction for a price.

Maybe $50. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/Ruger-33474/AutoPistols-40403/MKI-35106.htm

Be careful selling the upper. Unlike 99% of other firearms. The upper is considered the pistol, by the feds. As it is where the serial number is located. Not on the frame.

Selling it would entail transfer through a O1 FFL. Just like if you would be selling a functional Ruger pistol.

if it is " complete " with bolt and sights, it will bring around 150.00. if its missing the bolt, maybe 100.00.

Is it the heavy taper with the adjustable rear sight or the standard taper with the fixed rear sight? The heavy taper with adjustable sight would be more desirable in my opinion.

Like Rufe said, the "upper" you have is the pistol. Treat it as such.

"if it is " complete " with bolt and sights, it will bring around 150.00. if its missing the bolt, maybe 100.00."

I'd say that is pretty close. Maybe a little high for "fair condition". I wouldn't give $150 for a "fair" fixed sight "upper" but some might. When you add shipping and FFL fee, you might be real close to what a "fair" complete pistol would cost over the counter.
