Jed I. Master Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 How often does cabelas run sales on their Navies? I want to pick a couple up and have heard they drop to <$150 upon occasion but they are advertised at $250 right now for the steel frame. Kinda wish they made a G & G replica (love the history). The black powder provision in the legislature is also nice as I can get it right to my door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge'm All Duncan, SASS#67320 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Never seen the steel frame on sale for that price. Usually the brass frame ones. They had them on sale during Thanksgiving to Christmas. Not sure when the next one will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff Kut Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Like Judgem All said. The brass frames go on sale for $150 all the time, but I have never seen the steel frames come down at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Last best price I saw on the steel frame was $199 or $210 --Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COAL CAR KID, SASS #15921 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I picked up a pair of steel frames for $199 each in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think it was two thanksgivings ago when I saw the steel frame ones for $175. I'm still kicking myself for not buying at least two. Should have bought a dozen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky R. K. Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I bought a pair of the 5-1/2" brass framed models the last time they were on sale at Cabelas. I already had a pair of the steel framed model with 7-1/2" barrels but I wanted to see how the brass frames would hold up and I wanted the shorter barrels. The only modifications I have made to date is to install Tresso nipples and a plug on the hammer faces to make them smooth. I have used them in two matches so far and have had NO problems at all either mechanically, with ignition or cap jams. I plan to make them my main match pistols and see how they hold up.

Warden Callaway Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I bought this pair of conservative serial numbered Pietta Confederate 44s at Cabelas on Black Friday sale year before last. On sale for $139. $308 out the door with taxes. I cleaned up a few sharp edges. The bolt spring leg that runs over the cam on hammer was way too strong. I stoned them thinner. When you order or buy the Pietta from Cabelas, get the stare parts kit. It is a real value. I've not needed any parts yet, maybe the kit works!

Outlaw Torn Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I was recently reading about the 1851 Navy for first black powder pistol. I live in the Great Republic of California do BP Pistols have to go to FFL do they have 10 day waiting period. In other words could I order from Cabela's and have shipped to my house. As I recall there is some type of antique clause. There are no Cabela's in California that I am aware of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered quite a few, and I live in Oakland. Certainly you can up there in the Creek. Cabelas will ship them right to your door. I believe you'll have to sign for them, but that's about it. I can bring a set next time we shoot together if you want to play with them. Where have you been shooting at lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped for awhile family, racing Motocross and moving! Hope we meet up and I would like to get a chance to try BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think it was two thanksgivings ago when I saw the steel frame ones for $175. I'm still kicking myself for not buying at least two. Should have bought a dozen though. I bought a pair at that time, one of these days I'll get around to shooting them. At the time I thought it was too good of a price to pass up. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
