Worth $200?

[CatamountRob]

I don’t know anything about cap and ball guns but I’ve been thinking about getting one. This package came up locally and I’m curious what it’s worth? Would $200 be out of line? If he says it looks new and un-fired then that’s what it looks like, the guys solid.

 

[deermanok]

Absolutely. Especially with all the extra stuff.

Well caps are going around $10.00 for a tin and are hard to find The T-7 is around $30 the Kit say $25.00 or so so would only have $125.00 in the gun I would be all over it!

I would love to come across a nice deal on a 36 Pistol.

Add in the flask, capper, round balls, felt wads, the pound of T7, 200 caps. There's close to 100 bucks right there.

If it’s still available, absolutely! A good condition steel frame Pietta with everything you would need for the first day at the range, for less than than a Hi-Point!

If you don't get it, let me know. I will.

 

[CatamountRob]

Thanks guys! I drove over after work and picked it up. I ordered a Lee .375 mold and I’ll probably order a bunch of lubed wads the next time I place an order somewhere.
I like the way it feels in my hand and can’t wait to shoot it.

Nice snag.

I would definitely jump on that for $200!!

 

[Hausser1]

That's a dandy!

 

[Caniborrowsomeammo]

You did real good.

 

[hrt4me]

have you fired it yet?

 

[UndeadPoet]

That was a great deal! How’s she shoot?

 

[CatamountRob]

Haha, I actually haven’t shot it yet. It’s at my office and I cock it a couple times a day just because I like the sound of it.
I bought a mold but I haven’t had time to cast since it arrived.

 

[stubshaft]

That's a great deal!

 

[D55]

Awesome find.

CatamountRob-

There are lots of good sources of info, out there.

Here’s one that’s a good primer: https://www.go2gbo.com/threads/proper-use-of-a-cap-and-ball-revolver.2772/

Truly an amazing value. I would have paid 200 for the steel framed revolver alone. With all the money saved consider adding a conversion cylinder that would allow you to shoot cartridges. Not sure if that is available for that particular caliber though. Nevertheless an amazing deal. Congratulations.
