I think I am learning. You guys remember all that .38 Special brass I got on that deal? I traded a $300 Uberti for 1500 .38 cal bullets, 1500 .41 Cal bullets, and 1500 .44 cal bullets, 4 or 5 pounds of W296 powder, and what ended up being 10,000 once fired .38 Special brass. I loaded up the 1500 .38 bullets (been shooting them for a few weeks now), have kept 2000 total .38 Special brass. I have given away a couple thousand, sold a couple thousand, and I guy just bought what I had left for $200! There was about 3500 to 4000 left. (Dave, I still have yours boxed up and ready. Just let me know where to send it.) Working for that cheap fella I work for must be rubbing off on me. No, really, the guy I traded the gun to was glad to trade, and I have been very happy with this deal as well. I just wish I would have had the $300 and could have kept the gun too! Enough typing, time to go shoot!

No hurry Dave.

Bountyhunter

You got one hell of a deal. What Uberti did you trade away? I think I might want a Uberti.

It was a single action army clone in .45 Colt.

Bountyhunter

I might pick one of them up if I find one priced right.

sheepdog

...I've seen/handled a few...they look great and the price is right...you who've shot them...do they hold up? can you get parts for them easily? Has Hillary pissed off the Italians yet????

Dave, the one I had shot great. I hate to admit it, but it shot better than the several Vaqueros I have owned. (Before Snuffy chimes in here, I have never owned a New Vaquero, these where the originals.) I doubt seriously if it would hold up as well as the Ruger, but parts for any single action army should fit just fine, and those parts are easy to get.
