Confused (like most days) - XR-3 Red frames

[VonFatman]

I picked up a couple of these frames in a recent deal and thought I'd throw them up in the Classifieds.
These are the frames for the earlier Old Model guns (as best I can tell).

What the heck is a fair price to ask? What I mean is, fair for buyer and me too. Don't want to retire off 'em, just sell them.

Thanks

Bob

I passed you on 291 in Nashua the other day
Seriously, I have wanted to come out and shoot and everything that could get in the way of that happening did, and now it is deer season and I know your range activities are on hold.
I don't know why everything has to be s hard when I try to do fun stuff but the crap gets in line first apparently
I hope your young hunters do well again this year

Bob, its one of those things that is "market" run, and the price is base on "condition" they MUST be nice to get 'market' value, and are only worth what someone is willing to pay,,,BUT they are no longer made, can be recoated and made look good ( better?) and for someone who has one "missing or broken" then something is better than nothing......................I try and look back at "finished auctions/sales, but still the fact they are NOT made anymore puts a bit of a premium on them..........OR use them on another gun, that has a GREAT frame , and swap them out, thats what most of the guys around here tend to do............
the one with NO finish at least $40-50 and the better one around $60-75....NICE ones last we saw were pushing the $100 mark and UP..............................

Thank you Dan. I really appreciate your well thought out reply! Very good. Exactly what I needed.

Don,
Hope you will call one day and we can shoot. One doe taken during the Urban Hunt and a small eight point taken Saturday by a youth hunter.
Take care!
