Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Sold -- THANKS Good Evening Folks: End of an era here. I've been shooting cap guns for over 40 years now. But, the arthritis in my hands has gotten so bad, that I've moved to shooting 38s. While I'm still shooting duelist and black powder, my fingers don't work well enough to shoot cap guns any more. So…………. I have for sale a Ruger Old Army package that starts you off with everything you need except powder. Description & pictures (more pictures available on request -- Please send me your e-mail address) --Two Stainless Steel 5-inch Ruger Old Army revolvers. I have owned and used these for several years, and they have always been very good for me. These were built by Larsen E. Pettifogger. They started life as 7-1/2 inch ROAs. He cut the barrels to 5 inches, crowned them, and installed brass front sights. These were later pinned to the barrels by a local gunsmith. The original Ruger nipples have been replaced by Slix or Treso nipples, but Ruger nipples will be included with the guns. The cylinder pins are from Belt Mountain. Right now, the cylinder pins are standard Belt Mountain, captured by a screw. However, I can change them to the Belt Mountain quick-change pins if you prefer -- Just let me know. If I remember correctly, the installed springs are 17 pounds The grips are Eagle Checkered Gunfighter grips. Factory wood grips are included They come with 12 extra Ruger nipples, a set of 19-pound hammer springs, and the springs that came in the gun (I don't know their poundage) --Two Stainless Steel 45 caliber conversion cylinders, that have recently had the firing pins & ferules replaced by Howell Old West Conversions. --500 (5 unopened boxes) of Speer swaged .457 roundballs --Larsen built an off-the-gun cylinder loader. It has a powder measure, a loading plunger, and a "dummy" to fill the 6th cylinder charge hole while loading. --A case of 50 un-opened 100-count tins of Remington #10 percussion caps (for face-to-face sale only). This is 5000 caps! This is being sold as a package -- I have no interest in breaking the package up, so please don't ask. I can mail everything but the caps -- The package without the caps is $3500 + actual shipping. I estimate that shipping will be around $100, for USPS Priority Mail, fully insured. Shipping will be in two packages. Certified Bank Check please A Face-To-Face transaction includes the caps, and is $4100 Cash only please. FTF can be at my home, ( I live in Cleveland, Ohio), at an Ohio shoot that I attend, or a meet-up as we are traveling, I shoot at The Tusco Long Riders, in Midvale, Ohio (East-Central Ohio) on the first Saturday of each month. Most weekends, I will be at various shoots in Northern Ohio. 1st Saturday -- Tusco 2nd Saturday -- Sandusky Country Regulars in Gibsonburg, Ohio OR 2nd Saturday at The Logan's Ferry Regulators in Western PA 3rd Saturday -- Firelands Peacemakers in Wellington, Ohio OR 3rd Sunday with the Scioto Territory Desperados at The Cardinal Shooting Center just north of Columbus, Ohio 4th Saturday with The Ohio Valley Vigilantes near Mount Vernon, Ohio OR 4th Saturday with the Brown Township Regulators in Malvern, Ohio We will be traveling to West Friendship, MD on the first weekend in May. We will also most likely travel to Sacramento, CA sometime this Summer. We'll be headed towards the Hudson Valley (New York) the 3rd weekend in October. We can arrange to meet you when we are traveling, and do an exchange at that time. PM me if you want to arrange this. Meet-ups while traveling will require a non-refundable 10% deposit. Thanks for looking --Dawg Edited March 17 by Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
