R & D Richards For Sale!

[David Carrico]

I have an older Richards conversion in 44 Colt. The complete conversion was done by Ken Howell, not just a conversion cylinder. Plain cylinder, not roll engraved. Has some wear and tear, I've carried it on several shows. It's had a lot of blanks fired through it, but never a live round. I can email pics. Must ship to FFL.
Thanks!

Well, how much?

Dave, is this a 0.429 "modern" .44 Colt or is it unlined, hence needs a .44 Colt heeled bullet? 

[David Carrico]

I had this posted on the SASS wire, but they removed it, I assume they thought it was a commercial posting. This is my personal gun, it has nothing to do with my business. I have pics of it on my website because it is easier for me to post them there. If I was looking for one of these, I couldn't buy one this cheap. I'll take $700, I've had something come up that I need some extra $$$ for.
Thank you!
David

[David Carrico]

I would say it was either a Uberti or Pietta. Ken had removed those markings.

Seth..early on Ken just used 2nd & 3rd Gens & Uberti....I'd lean 90% sure it's a Uberti

[Fox Creek Kid]

He also used Armi San Marco. I had a 2nd Model Richards made by Kenny that was an ASM.

[David Carrico]

Sold pending funds! I would like to thank everyone for their help.

That true as did USPFA import some ..

ASM's owner was Aldo Uberti's Son in Law..
ASM got a bad rep...for guns they supplied to Discounters and some guns in that quality range got into the
offerings from Navy Arms & Cimarron etc.
But ASM was quite capable and did turn out some very nice pieces.
It's to bad , Traditions ,Sportmans Warehouse etal were demanding costs be kept low, and ASM was willing to cut corners to supply them at that level.

Glad for you Dave ...also glad I'm not being tempted anymore...

[Dusty Morningwood]

Well, it tempted me over on the SASS Classifieds and now it is mine! 

[Major 2]

That's great Dusty...I'm glad for ya ! 

I have two, and Dave's/yours was temping me like Henry's ..can't have enough   

[Fox Creek Kid]

Dusty, it it lined or not? 

[Dusty Morningwood]

FCK:
Since it is a Kenny Howell conversion, I will have to assume "yes".  Maybe David C. can tell us, as the check just went out to him and I do not have revolver in hand.

[Dusty Morningwood]

Dusty, it it lined or not? 

DC tells me it is lined.  Sweet!
