Well, it happened again, I have been good and stayed out of gun and pawnshops for a while now, but I had a moment of weakness. I went to the bank and when I was done I noticed I was right by one of the pawnshops that I use to be a regular at and decided to stop in just for a look...... Well, there it was, a really clean Ruger Vaquero, 5 1/2 barrel with Faux case coloring in my preferred caliber 45C. I of course asked to see it and even gave it back and made it out of there and was sitting in the truck thinking about when was the last time I had seen a good clean example in the wild. Well, I went back in and we were able to strike a deal and I put it on lay-a-way. It is really clean and for a 1993 year model, I was amazed at how clean it was, didn't even have a turn ring on the cylinder, just a few small nicks on the ejector rod area under the bottom of the barrel near the spring ejector area. It had its original wood grips on it but no box or anything else. I was able to get out of there for a total of $635 after uncle got his cut, while it's not a steal of a deal, I am happy because I prefer the older large-frame guns and have always wanted a 5 1/2 blued Vaquero in 45C.
No picks until I get it out of lay-a-way jail.
I haven't been watching the prices of what they have been selling for but I'm sure like everything else the prices have gone up. What does the forum think about my newest addition? The price? Any input would be great.
Thanks,
