WTB - Brass framed 45 Colt

[Creeker, SASS #43022]

Had a fellow cowboy shooter come into my shop today.

He has moved into the Pahrump area from Arizona,

"El Loco Roho" SASS 59615L

 

He has had some health issues and says that he may not be able to return to Cowboy Action Shooting.

But he would like to be able to, at minimum, do some Cowboy re-enactment.

 

He is, in his words, computer illiterate - so I am assisting him solely as a courtesy to a fellow cowboy.

I am making no money from this effort; but if I am out of line posting this - please delete.

 

He is seeking a brass backstrap 45 Colt single action, mostly because of it's looks (brand is immaterial - formerly had a Jager Dakota).

 

His budget is sub $500.

 

Let me know and I will forward information so you may correspond directly.

There's a 5 1/2"er Jager .45 on Gunbroker currently at $255 with three days to go. 1072836431 Looks like $350ish is about the going rate.

 

I have six Jagers - five .38-40's and one .357, and every one of them has an odd problem with over-rotating when trying to run them fast. The easy fix is to use a heavy grease on the base pin to add a little resistance to the cylinder turning. Just an inherent problem with the design I guess.

 

Used .45 Hombres regularly go for under $400 - here's a 4 5/8"er for $425, BIN. 1073712166
