I've got these two twistlock barrels, a brass 12" and aluminum 8". Both RF/LF, both in used condition.
What would these be worth on the market today?

Nothing much, $20-30 each. The bottom one is a stock Minimag barrel. Twistlock barrels just don’t have much value now, especially with our modern small paint because the detent system is inadequate. Most of us who actually play with old mags regularly are using Doc’s adapters or ULE bodies.-
Getting a doc adapter is what prompted me wanting to move these. -
Seconded.
Between force-fed hoppers and smaller paint, the nubbins in twistlock barrels just can't keep up. I've tried bending them further in and coating them with plasti-dip to build up the point a bit, but all that did was cause the nubbin to catch on the bolt and get destroyed (and gouge the bore in the process). Since nearly all twistlocks out there predate today's paint size, they've got relatively huge bores, especially at the breech.
At least with a Doc's adapter and a force-fed hopper, my Level 7 mag doesn't chop any more.
