question re. 3 screw 9 inch SA 22

[UmpquaCharlie]

LGS has a used one...wants 400. OTD. Condition 75%. Is the price too high. No box or papers.

Man, that's a hard one these days.

An unconverted OM has a small pile of internals worth at least $100, and at least one cylinder worth $80 or more, and a grip frame worth about $75 or more, and some grip panels worth $50 or more . . . etc. And 9" guns are sorta scarce. And it depends on your definition of 78% condition.

Most of all, it depends on your "gotta have it" factor. They aren't making OM's any more. This time next year will you miss $400?

I feel your pain. I like those old-timers.

JMHO

what 'ale-8 said, and that 75% "condition" makes the pricing/value drop off fast!!! to ME, that is "high".....

 

[UmpquaCharlie]

To add insult to injury they just added a 6 inch 4 digit 41 3 screw for 500.

FWIW, here's one of my OM Single-Six shooters.........

I've added a few non-standard parts and it's one of my favorite "plinkers".......
