Ok I know I got a good deal (always a good deal when you get a gun you want) but just how good did I do? Strolled into local Cabela's bargain cave and walked out with a Blue NiB 5.5" fixed sight Old Army for $278 OTD.
I don't see any 5.5" ones on gunbroker I know they didn't make the 5.5s the whole time so I assume they're more rare. Are they desireable as well. I know I like the way shorter SAs balance. I'd just like to know what they're sellin for.
'bout 3 years back a fella had two stainless ones at a gun show i was doin.
He wanted , i think it was $550 for the pair NIB.
That was before i got into this C&B passion.
I didn't buy 'em :banghead:
Went back to see if they had another Old Army. A guy's gotta have a brace of BP revolvers. No more Rugers but problem solved.
one Stainless and one blued '58 Remington. Not quite the deal the Ruger probably was but close (very close) Damn I'm having a good 4th holiday weekend (took a couple days of vacation too)
I checked the completed auctions on GB the cheapest one I saw sold for 650. I've seen some 7 1/2" adj sight ROA for 300-350. If i can sell the 5.5 for that kinda money I can get a 7 1/2" ROA and pay off the Remmies.
