Okay.
Parts guns will bring very little compared to a working properly unit. No way for anyone to know just how bad they are inside without taking a look, I would have the rebuilt then sell.
If you don't want to have them rebuilt then selling off the parts is the way to go you just need to wait until someone needs a barrel or stock, on and on.
A person would have no problem finding one in good working condition at a show for $400.00.

That's kind of like selling a used car with issues when you don't want to fix it any more. I haunt the Yellow classifieds and I've seen R1s go for around $400-450 depending on condition. If you really don't want to mess with them ask yourself what you'd be ok getting for them, post an ad and see what happens. If you can take good pics it will make a huge difference in the response you get.
Good Luck,

R1's are my favorite. Shoot me some pics, we might be able to make a deal. A rebuild is not a huge deal. It is hard to compress the spring, but it can be a relaxing afternoon project.
