Well,
First off welcome to the Forum
The gun will bring $500-600 on gunbroker and the acp cyl. will go for $125-150
Better to part it out than sell as a convertible IMHO.

I have to disagree with the idea of selling the cylinder seperate from the gun. To a person who wants a "correct" gun,, once the original cylinder is "gone" it almost never comes back. Keep the items together. Clean the guns,, and realize that OM 45 convertable long barreled guns can bring as much as $850 or so in excellent like NIB condition. One like that could bring as much as $700, or more if it's cleaned up & properly graded.

Well I rest my case. It is not a collector grade and will bring the same or more if sold seperate.
I have 3 nice SHOOTER 45 convertibles that I didn't pay $700 for or do they go for that much on Gunbroker.
But a shooter 71/2" will sell for $450-550.
These old guns always seem to be worth a lot util you want to sell them.

I'd sell the convertible with the ACP cylinder. A "beginning" collector or one with a limited amount of funds would be very happy to obtain a "less than perfect" BKH-45X.
Now, on to the Bearcat. The Alphabet series of guns were produced in the days when the Bearcat grips were plastic without any Ruger Medallions.
The proper grips are worth $50-$60 or so....

Yeah, I wouldn't "part out" either. Sweet sixgun!
Yea Guys,
I agree it should not be parted out.
But THE QUESTION WAS HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH. The parts are worth more than the whole as Rugerguy would say.
For instance, there is a very nice complete package with shipper BKH-36X on GB for $500 no bids and ends today.
Now then lets see.
Gun $400
PERFECT 9mm Cyl. with bag and box $125
Perfect Shipper, box and all papers $150 how many shippers do you find for an X gun
So the parts $675+- and no bids. Go figure.
Every old thing is a collectable until ya try and sell it

I gotta go with Jim on this one guys, bottom line is the picture tells me all I need to know, that is NOT an $850 gun...... maybe to a blind person, who never owned a firearm and has LOTS of money. the 'seller' can get MORE the way Jim states, I know I have time after time; not everyone steps up to the plate to "over pay" for any particular item these day, the NICE stuff sells itself, any doubt, try and use an auction but make sure you have a 'reserve" or you can lose your butt....seen that also, far too often with 'estate sales'...........
either way, you gotta do what works for YOU, and if there is family involved, then the pricing is 'irrelevant'...... :roll:

I fully agree that the parts are worth more than the whole package if selling. But to seperate the extra cylinder from the gun would detract it in value for me. I'm with Flatgate in that a beginning collector looking for that model,, would be happy to get it with the matching cylinder.
That said,, we forgot to mention the Bianchi Flap holster. That adds about $50-$100 depending upon the condition of the holster.

If it belonged to MY Dad I wouldn't sell it for a million bucks. JMHO

first any one that would say to part it is way off base. they don't make them any more. if it belonged to your father keep it and shoot it. if you do sell it keep it altogether.

Allright,
The question was HOW MUCH IS IT WOTH.
THE ANSWER IS IT IS WORTH MORE APART THAN TOGETHER. Period
A shame but that is the way it is to the non collector buyer.
I have Severeal old Rugers that are worth more in parts than together
END of Story,

You are right Jim, You gave the correct answer for him to get the most money out of the gun. My thought was just a setimental one. I think if he sells his Dad's gun he'll regret it down the line.
