Joe West Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm lowering the price a bit, they show their use and abuse but you don't have to baby them. I'd give a buyer a 5 day inspection period to return undamaged and complete for full refund less shipping. 5 1/2" bbl, blue Ruger Old Army , pair in original boxes. I've used them as my main match guns since Ruger introduced the fixed sight 5 1/2" models. They are worn but function perfectly if fed and cared for properly. As some of you could attest having seen me use them over the years. My hands are unable to work them one handed due to my advanced arthritis and rather than use them two handed I'll go back to my old model vaqueros. I'd rather somebody else enjoy them than just hang them on the wall. Very smooth and light, all action work or mods by me. Several spare parts [mostly nipples] are included. I've shot many clean major matches in all weather with them , many wins, and quite a few trick shots. They'll serve. $1900 for the pair plus shipping to states that'll allow them or face to face. If your state or locality requires C&B to FFL that's ok but I'm not going to try and send them to CA or HI. Badlands Bob still not included at this price.

Trigger Mike Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Joe West is a good guy and does really good work on guns. He's fixed some of mine years ago when I was active at Cherokee gun club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe West Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 T. S. Don't blame you, but I won't be there, sorry. These old pieces did manage 2005 and 2006 Miss. State Frontiersman championships for me. I can't remember the other year I won there but it wasn't a Rabbit Ridge match. Anytime I have failed to win it wasn't due to these guns. They are not for show. I travel by motorcycle so weight/space are issues . I've not had a backup or needed one since I started using these. they are as good as I know how to make them.

Max Payne Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If you don't know Joe West's work, he's one of the finest gunsmiths available. He's fixed some issues for me that others could not. That would be a great picture if Badlands Bob weren't in it. Maybe someone could do some Photoshop work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
