Mexicali Blue Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Came across a pretty nice used one at an LGS. They wanted $625 plus tax. I thought that was a little steep. Am I off base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 They are up to $904 MSRP for the Uberti (Pietta version a little less), so figure around $800 for a new one. $625 is not bad if in excellent shape. Now, if you just want a buntline you can get a new one for less than that. The sterling silver badge inlay adds over $300 to the cost on this model.

Cat Brules Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It’s a $400 revolver...max, in my view. Less if you can get it for $300. Be different if it was a 50’s - 90’s Colt piece. What would you do with it? Not really a main match shooter; it’s a novelty. What the new, MSRP Sticker says makes no difference. Spare parts for a shorter barreled build, maybe, for $300.

watab kid Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 one always has to figure out how bad you really want what your looking for , once bought - its yours then there is no longer a question , its is its worth to you that matters , if i wanted one id not pass the right one up , but only you know why you want it , or how much , i think its reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others pointed out it’s a novelty piece. Tombstone is one of my favorite movies, but,!!i don’t need it and I don’t want it it that badly. Bit would have to be a much better deal for me to bite.

McCandless Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 If I can find it, I had a picture of a pard who shot matches with a pair of the longest barreled Buntlines. He had special leather rig made, (black and silver spots & conchos), and the holsters were tied down, way down. Now I gotta dig through the picture files, as I have 'CRS', and can't remember his name at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is who you were thinking of, but here is Sundown Jones with L.W. Hannabas in 2001. 18" buntlines. BTW, I haven't seen Sundown in many years, but Hannabas looks exactly the same today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It would be great to have if you're shooting Josey Wales! Actually two of them would be good to use as the rifle! I don't think $625.00 is too much but offer him a litte less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holsters tied down to his ankles Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
