I'm looking at a cimmeron 45 LC, made by uberti, rifle with color case hardened action and blue oct bbl. He is asking $650 for it. Is that in the ball park or too high it has excellant bore. Thanks
At that price, if it's what you want, I'd jump on it. I love my Cimarron, but I've owned a Rossi as well, and I would buy another before another Cimarron just because they are much cheaper and still a really good rifle.
I'm assuming from your description it is a Uberti copy of an 1873 Winchester. Cimarron marketed a few 1892 copies in .45 Colt, but I don't recall Uberti making any 1892s.
Your gun was likely used in cowboy action competition, and most of these rifles have been "tuned" for the sport. Some are done by professionals, some by amateurs on kitchen tables. You will want to ensure that the rifle functions safely.
Best bet is to have a gunsmith inspect it and check the headspace. If that's not possible, make sure it cycles with the ammo you expect to use and that the lever safety (the little projection behind the trigger that gets depressed when the lever closes completely) is working properly...the hammer should not fall if the the lever is not completely closed. The rifle may have a "short-stroke" kit installed, which shortens the lever travel, and lever springs may have been modified; make sure the lever stays open when it's open and held vertically, and that the lever stays closed when held horizontally.
That's a very good price for a '73 in good working condition.
The prices on the Uberti and Winchester/Miroku 1873s are really high. They cost double what the Rossi 1892s sell for. Too bad Rossi doesn't make a 1873 model.
Provided the gun checks out okay that's a decent price on a Cimmaron lever gun. I saw one a while back that had the color case hardened receiver with an 18' octagonal barrel but it was priced a little too high for my budget. Ended up finding a LNIB Rossi Model 92 at a much more affordable price and have been very pleased with it.
