I think it's a deal...
Well, this could be a terrible thing. A new gun store opened up about a quarter mile down the road from my house. I stopped by today and over in the corner, well away from the black rifles and plastic guns was an ASM "1851" conversion in .44 Colt.
The tag said $280 and they took $250, threw in half a box of Black Hills ammo and two and a half boxes of brass. Seems like a good deal. Finally...finally I get to go shooting tomorrow!

why, oh why, can I never find deals like that! Same day my wife decided that my Uberti Hombre was hers, I see a buddy on a forum pick up the same exact pistol for $150. I just can't catch a break!

You know, when I got home and showed my wife, she actually said that it was kind of pretty and didn't make a bit of a fuss.
I should have bought a lottery ticket while I was at it.d

Ha, Beagle, I don't think I wanted to push my luck that hard!
BTW, I'm going to load the empties up with black powder and a cast bullet. Does anybody know if the same 200 grain bullet for .44-40 will do the job in .44 Colt? Or should I cast .44 Special bullets?

Good find, HC.
Real nice find.
I do agree with you that it is a darned shame that SOB had to open up a gun shop a quarter mile from you! Will the tribulations ever end?! ;o)

The only thing I ever see in the gun stores around here are Smiths and Glocks.

jib43, that's kind of the way things go around here, but every now and then, something nice pops up. We have a lively Internet classified site that isn't afraid to have a guns section, but it's closing down next month, so I guess that I'll have to do more leg work. Or less spending.
