For all you ROA fans I was just surfing gunbroker when I ran across this little number.

The serial number indicates that it was made in 1982.

Any bets on the final price? I'll say $385. Bob, are you bidding?

 

[bigbadgun]

As much as I would like to .NO. LOL
Not my cup of tea I wish I had bought one while they were still in production. Just so I can say I have one. I just dont really like the ROA.
I say its gonna go for right around $400.

The high bidder is a reseller I believe.

I'll say a touch over $425.00 just because it's got 3 more days to go.

I'd love one but right now my money has to stay home.

I have seen a few stainless ROA's that had a pretty dull finish that they get from a lot of uses. A flash photo catches all the scratches and looks like poop. They tend to go for less money than the shinny ones. I got this early (non billboard) gun for $300. It buffed up to near new. I added the grips, the originals had been pretty beat. Moral of the story, if you look around you can find a good deal.


Speaking of good deals, I know this isn't black powder, but it was a good deal. This weekend I found this K38 local for $350, cheap for a Target Masterpiece.
