Three screw prices going crazy

[rugerguy]

yes, we passed on #31 long time ago at the Tulsa show same thing , corroded on the "down side" from moisture, and they knew I would or could refinish it properly BUT all too many folks knew it's condition, so we passed and the late 'flatgate' ended up with it, thats when we first met ,,may he rest in peace........you can put a thin plastic under the gun but do NOT put it IN a bag, traps moisture and condensation with room temperature change...plastic ,rubber ,leather ALL bad for a guns finish,,,wish I had a nickel for every one we refinished over these past 55 years......

..and once its refinished no matter HOW good, its NOT "original"....

I've got the same gun, just a little older and more wear and no box or papers, if i could get any where close to that kind of money if would be in a new home >>>
I'll say one thing for the guy he has some really sweet guns on auction ,, did you see this one ?

I got 357 FT for $50 at a gun show in Rochester, Mn. back in the early 70's.... Splitz was with me and advised me: BUY IT.
Still have it....It's a shooter but it's all original..!!

They are out there, I picked up this 1971 three screw with original lock work with stag grips for $650.00. Very nice shape, bought it from a millennial who wanted to trade it for plastic fantastic! (Evidently, he inherited it or was gifted it by a relative)

I bought all 4 of mine for $600 or less. The OM flat top was $600 and the others were $450-$550. These were all "recent"purchases. The only NM ive had that really has the "it" factor compared to the old models is my flat top 44spl and its definitely a keeper.
