need some help. dragoon and a 61 navy I've never heard of

[BerdanSS]

I have in front of me two pistols. An unfired asm 2nd model dragoon for 300.00 and a Drop dead gorges replica arms 61 navy for 260.00. Good deals. Or walk away?

 

[Doc Hoy]

I have two of those Dragoons from ASM

I like them but I didn't give 300.00 for them. Bought one of them from BP revolver for 225.00 delivered.

I sure do like the 1861 Navy Colts.

I think I'd start at 240.00 for the Dragoon and 210.00 for the Navy.

Replica Arms? Make sure what you have is a shooting gun not a decorators gun.
I'd also be spooky about the ASM. Parts are hard to come by.

 

[Doc Hoy]

When I was building kits back in the day...

Replica Arms had a pretty good reputation.

ASM parts are indeed pretty much purged from the system.

Anything breaks and you are into the filing and fitting routine.

I can tell you the Dragoon is built like a tank. Treat it right and you won't need parts anytime soon. (Opinion)

Replica Arms was an importer that was bought out by Navy Arms.

Replica Arms was an importer that was bought out by Navy Arms.

And a lot of their stuff was made by Uberti. Look for the Uberti logo somewhere on it.

I've heard horror stories about several of the early ASM Walkers...which were also built like a brick sh&%house, the problem being soft internal parts. Given that, I think 3 bills is too much for the Dragoon. I paid just a wee bit more for my second Dragoon and it's a Uberti.....and it was unfired.
I would tend to roll the dice on it, but not at that price.Probably more in the 2-230 range.

 

[BerdanSS]

well he wouldn't come a dime off either so I walked. I tried $220 even for the 61 navy and he wouldn't go for it. Over the three hours I was there he didn't sell a durn thing. And this was one of the most packed gun shows I've been to in a while.

Doc, I did see young man in front of me at another table come away with a B-E-A-Utimus Springfield Trapdoor rifle for $575.00

 

[Doc Hoy]

Price on Springfields is kind of funny

You see a wide range in prices for essentially the same rifle.

I am going to the Gun show today. We shall see.

Why on earth do they call it a gun show!? I have never seen a gun at a gun show (Ordnance of one inch or higher caliber fixed to the decks of naval ships or that ordnance temporarily on shore.) I have seen rifles, pistols, shotguns, firearms, weapons, and so forth, but never once did I see a "gun".

Like I was saying:

[Doc Hoy]

Twenty five bucks for shipping

That pistol can be shipped in a flat rate box. Somewhere around 12.00. Throw in a little for insurance.

Twenty five is on the edge of gouging.

You did not lose anything.

In the words of Homer ......Simpson

Doh!

The dragoon asms had a very pretty finish but the parts were outsourced from multiple vendors. The owner of this one had to basically rebuild it to make is usable. Timiing was off,- he fitted uberti parts, the chambermouths were much smaller than the barrel and he had to hand ream them .

current 61 navies come from Uberti and are usually ready to shoot right out of the box:
