thanks

I really don't care for the bisley model personally but I would make the trade. I care even less for the 223 than the bisley I like the old xr3 gripframe personally and would be looking for someone that wants to trade for the bisley. A lot of people like them and desire them I just don't. The older vaquero's are nice pistols I like the larger frames better than the newer ones and the older ones are stronger. I personally would get a lot more use out of the pistol than the rifle.

I'm not sure you would get any more money out of the Bisley Vaquero over a Vaquero although you probably see fewer of those. I'm not real sure what used Vaqueros are bringing but I would guess one in good shape would get around $450. If the mini is worth about $550 it sounds like a deal both folks could live with.

if you are "keeping the folding stock...AND getting $100 'boot'" , that s a very good deal.......... I'd do it in a heartbeat........
BUT,the mini as a "factory folding stock" model is worth MORE than the Bisley Vaquero around here...............it has to be a factory gun though, NOT a put together...pieces,parts
