In Good to Very Good condition they seem to range from about $1300 to $2000 or maybe a little more.  I rarely see them sell any lower, and higher prices generally seem to be completely intact guns in pretty nice condition.  There is one on the broker right now that looks rougher than yours--it doesn't seem to be getting any bids at $2700.

And another quick fix for the Arbor, relating to your use of flat washers.  I have found some brass flat washers at Lowes that are just right.  So I clean up the end of the arbor and rough it up a mite, then I fit the washer to the bore in the barrel lug, then I coat the interior of said bore with releasing agent (Vaseline), then put a nice glob of JB Weld on the end of the arbor, then stuff the washer into the JB Weld, then stuff it into the Barrel Bore overnight.  Done right, it comes apart next day with Perfect Fitz, like Puttin on the Ritz.  Iffin ya do it wrong, you don't have to concern yourself with takin it apart for cleaning.  Ever  ::)
I would think that affixing the washer to the arbor with JB Weld might be a bit safer if done outside the barrel lug. It wouldn't be hard to dress it down afterwards so the fit is good.

 :)  Hey Hey Hey  ;)

I'me going to be of NO help.  However.  The disparity between Dixie and Cimarron may well be a simple difference in "Timing."  Like, "When" was the information gleaned from sample examples??  Uberti has ben known, in their storied past, to just up and change various and sundry dimensions for no real apparent reason, although I can well understand changing the bore of current production .44 Caliber guns to .429/430, from .427/428,  to match the rest of the industry standards for .44s

Now, this missive doesn't necessarily provide any real answers for the OP.  However, it is Thursday morning and it's too damn cold around here to go do ANYTHING.  Ergo I'm some bored and needing something to do before lunch time and as it turns out, this is IT!!  Understanding, if you've read this far, It's Too Late, 'cause here ya are and ya can't go back.  Iffin you just happen to be wondering about your own Uberti Rifle, simple.  Just slug the bore and get out the calipers.  DONE.  BURMA SHAVE

When I became marshal of NCOWS 3 years ago my biggest challenge was how do we keep
this thing going. As mentioned the people who watched the golden age of westerns had
this new thing called cowboy action shooting. They could shoot the guns, dress the clothes
and do all kinds of things to almost live those days. I'm 64 and would say I was at the tail
end of that "golden age" So as we all age is it possible to keep things going. I had a stick
horse and a cap gun, you don't see kids running around with those anymore.

I know it is hard without actually seeing the gun or a bunch of photos. I'm just trying to get a rough price for an average rifle like this. I need to leave some type of list with values for the daughter for when I fall off the perch. Thanks

Awsome pics.  I got excited when I saw a bodcat hunting this year, but a kitten compared to this.

cat season ?  I was under the impression that the cougar is an endangered species everywhere.
They are here, officials estimate there are only between 120 – 230 adults and sub-adults left in the wild in Florida.

That's about one hundred fifty yards from where I sleep up there.  That will be food for thought when I have to get up at night to answer nature's call!
