I was at home today, lifting some weights when my dad calls me from work.
"Hey Nick, how'd you like to buy a pistol?"
My interest peaked when I heard pistol.
So, I asked what was being sold and how much. It turns out a guy my dad knows knows a guy who wants to sell a Heritage .22 revolver. I've seen them in the shooter's bible, but couldn't remember what kind of asking price they were new. My father then told me that this guy wanted to sell it for 75 bucks.
"What's wrong with the gun/seller?" was my next question.
It turns out there's nothing wrong with the gun. 6.5" barrel, no wear or tear on the gun at all. It comes with all the original papers, box, a box of .22 mag bullets, a .22 LR and .22 mag cylinder, a gun-lock, and even the original price sticker on the side of the box! The guy paid 200 dollars for the gun when he bought it, and he's never fired it. So, he hands me a few shells and tells me to go see if I like it.
At this point, I'm eager to see if there really IS anything wrong with this gun. However, the empty cardboard beer carton lying on the side of a farm-road about a mile or two away from my father's workplace, which just happens to be filled with 6 .22 caliber bullet holes, tends to put a very good argument for the gun's mechanical stability.
But I gotta tell ya, those .22 magnums sure are loud.
At this point I'm trying to decide whether or not it's right to steal from old men. I figure this gun could easily fetch 150, due to it's shape and everything that comes with it. So, this is my question: how much would this gun fetch me? I've already got a .22 pistol, it was my grandfather's and I'm never getting rid of it. I don't need another gun like this, even though I am a revolver fan. For this new gun, with everything new in box (still in plastic, even), how much can I expect?
