Another price check..

Hi,

Now I need an idea of what to ask for an Uberti 73 std. Rifle in .45lc.   It's about 15 years old, not used in matches, the blueing is easily 95% and the wood has only a few light handling marks, nothing through the finish.

I'm not sure I'm gonna sell it but I have a rule that if something new comes in then something else has to go, I just bought a 73 SRC in 44-40 so the rifle might become a safe queen.  I'm gonna make sure the carbine is OK before I think about dealing the rifle...

Here is what it looks like and thanks,

you should easily get your Carbine purchase price back.. depending on where your are, maybe better.
the only draw back is ,many are convinced 44/40 is the only caliber...
So the 45 LC might have someone look elsewhere....
Condition is the key, if it's as nice as you say, the age might have little effect.

I don't think you'll have a problem selling it. There are lots of people that shoot .45 Nitro loads and don't care if the cases seal the chamber.

Sounds like a dumb rule to me.

Yeah, you're right. That was rude and impolite. I should have said that a I don't have a rule like that. But where I live, chances are if I sell a gun I won't be able to buy it again in the future, so I have a rule against ever selling guns.

[Camille Eonich]

Ohhhhhh...I found the rule that you were talking about.  I agree with you no need to sell one just because you got another.

I agree with your take on the "rule" except I would have put one of these      after my statement.   

Personally,  I dont sell any of my guns because I wanted everyone of them I bought.  Do you think that is why I will need a new safe soon?
Safe shooting.  Deadeye.

Never thought I'd think about selling any gun either, you can never have enough, Right??  Well, I have a bunch that never get shot and I really wanted them when I bought them.  Like that inline muzzel loader I bought 12 years ago, that has not even been out of the safe in this century..LOL (I'll stick with my traditional guns).  I don't shoot CAS, I just love the guns, most of my shooting is with originals but I want one (and a matching pistol) for my woods walks.  I'm lucky enough to have a place where I can take a walk and plink, if the carbine works out then the rifle will probably find it's way to the back of the safe.  Plus, I'm semi-retired and decided not to put any more serious $$ in guns. 

Thanks for the replys, from looking around and here I'll probably get close to what the carbine cost and that's fine..
