Price Check Single Six Needed

[VAPA]

I am looking at a New Model Single Six convertable bicentennial model stamped "Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty" on the barrel, one owner who bought it new in 1976, original box, papers, unfired 22 mag cylinder, 50 rounds fired. for $450, is this a resonable price for this gun?
Thanks in advance

That sounds fairly reasonable to me, maybe just a little bit high.

Around these parts $450 is on the high side but ..... if that includes sales tax, FFL fees, etc. ~ might be okay. As always, depends on how bad you want it.

Many of us have lotsa wants and an extra $20 - $50 now won't be noticed later!

I have one of those too. I paid considerably less than that. $93.50 in 1976.

Sounds a little high to me too but NIB after 35 years is worth something.

Saw one at a gun show last Saturday, ANIB, and the dealer was asking $550.

Too high for around here...

If the gun is blued & barrel length is 4 5/8" I would buy it now! There were only 2000 of that length made. Took me awhile to find mine NIB and I have only seen two others for sale. If it is a 4 /5/8" stainless and it will letter from Ruger BUY it now only 300 of those made and go for about 1K.

Here is a link to the actual gun, I too think $450 is a little high, it is a FTF sale, no taxes, etc

If it's exactly what you want and you want to shoot it anyway, why quibble, just grab it. You won't find them like that often. If you just want to stash it away, keep looking and pay more for an unfired one.

I don't see that barrel length ever getting too pricey, too many made.
