Trade Pending: Longhunter 1873 Carbine in 357 for Pair of 32 H&R Single Six Vaqueritos

[Howdie Duit]

Hello all,

 

I am looking to trade or sell my Longhunter Taylor's 1873 Carbine. It is case hardened with no saddle ring, 19" round barrel. I would ideally like to trade for a pair of Ruger Vaqueritos in 32 H&R but if there is no interest I will consider selling outright. Asking price will be $1,750 plus shipping.

 

Per the website this gun has:
Pioneer super short stroke kit
Aluminum carrier
Slixprings lifter/lever springs
Bullet Alignment Kit
Stainless follower
New firing pin & spring
Pioneer carbine front sight
Lightened Coiled Safety Spring
Leather lever wrap

It also has a brown mernickle stock cover. 

 

Things of note:

I used it in about 5 or so matches. I would estimate about 500 rounds through the gun in total with practice.

The wood has a decent bit of handling marks from using it at matches. 

I added a marbles sight, which I never got fully seated, it never hindered me on the standard distance rifle targets. 

I beveled the loading gate mortise slightly.

I replaced the ejector pin with a homemade one from rebar tie when the original one was bent and fell out.

This rifle ran good using truncates cone 125 gr bullets at 1.45" OAL.

 

Reason for trading/selling is that I have decided to make a marlin my main match gun. 

 

I plan to add photos tomorrow once I give it a good cleaning after work.

Hi,

I might have the perfect pistols for you. Two baby Vaqueros (the smaller grip .32). The only problem is that one is stainless and the other is CCH. Both have had action work by Roy's Creek Dan (J&J Gunsmith). They have been shot very little. If you are interested I will send pictures.

Bump - still in search of a pair of baby vaqueros to trade for this carbine.

Hey Pards.

I've handled this 73 that Howdie is letting go.   It is indeed a super nice rifle.

But, he fell in love with MY Marlin .32 (Widdermatic) and the rest is history.   He lives close to me

and we've done some shooting back on the farm, he has discovered his fondness for the .32 H&R.

 

I guess his selling/trading his 73 can be blamed on me.

Since Flat Top Okie has a mixed set. I have 1 stainless baby vaquero in 32 H&R.  If you want mine too, I'd go $500 plus shipping and include a set of dies.
