1860 army replica values?

[walruskid1]

my friend has offered me a pair of colt 1860 pistols for 200 bucks. they are in very nice shape. i would also get a shoulder stock, holsters, 3 spare cylinders, and a flask w/spout. sound like a good deal? one is a richland arms and the other is a pietta. the richland has a fluted cylinder.

 

[Rebel]

Sounds like a REAL good deal. If you don't want rhem both i'll take one. With the shoulder stock and extras you can not go wrong. Better by them before someone else does.

 

[walruskid1]

thanks for the offer rebel, i think i'll take 'em both. hes a good friend and we swap a lot of guns. i traded him an enfield bolt gun for a cva shotgun tonight.

 

[Rebel]

It would still be a good deal even if they aren't Ubertis.

 

[Rebel]

You got a great deal on that too.

 

[walruskid1]

he gave me seven plastic totes of reloading equipment to sell for him too. hes financing another motorcycle. he dumped a pair of 51 navies for 200 and a nice garand for 400. also sold a persian mauser and a ishapor for 100 apiece. he had a busy afternoon.

 

[Rebel]

Boy, it's too bad you live so far away. Or maybe not. :grin:

 

[walruskid1]

he wants me to handle selling the stuff for him. only problem is as i take each item out of the boxs, it goes into the pile of stuff that i want. just called him a few minutes ago and told him i wanted ALL his lead melting equipment and about a dozen moulds. i'm also keeping a m39 sako manufactured mosin-nagant. too good shape to let go.

 

[Rebel]

Boy, you better find some more trading material. :grin: You sound like me, it all looks too good to let go.

 

[walruskid1]

30 years of accumulated bp and other good stuff. i hate to see him get out of it.

 

[Rebel]

He must want a bike bad. I was that way when i was younger. I would trade or sell off whatever it took to get a bike when i was without one. Too old for that now.

 

[walruskid1]

he's got three now! hell, he can only ride one at a time.

 

[Rebel]

That's true. I could never manage to ride more than one at a time either. :grin: And he can't carry many MLers on them. Just to try to keep this on topic. :grin:

 

[walruskid1]

your right, easy to get off topic. was richland the maker or an importer?

 

[Rebel]

Not sure, but i think they were just the Importer. I'm sure someone here knows for sure. Still be a good deal. I like the cal. of the '60 Armies but the feel of the '51 Navies.

 

[renovato]

Wow, that's an awesome deal alright. I need to find friends like yours! hehe

I like the cal. of the '60 Armies but the feel of the '51 Navies.

That's why I chose the .36 cal.'51 Navy over the '60 Army in .44. The feel of the '51 was just too good to pass up. I can get the Army model later though, because he isn't advertising it for sale, and it's definitely the next purchase on my list... :thumbsup:

as ever,

I'd keep the M39 under wraps, as well--they are all gone in Finland and the prices are going up. Not to mention they're great rifles.
