$549 tax, tags, title...out the door? I'd probably give that amount as by today's standards that would be a fair price. What about the details? Barrel length, fixed/adjustable sights, type of grip?

There are certainly ROAs going for more on GB.

well i didnt post any details i thought they were all the same untill i just looked through the pics some have posted here it was a long barrel . very nice it looked like a monster next to my 58 rem .. im looking for a stainless 58 in .36 but was tempted . i thought one would be plenty i was mistaken . i have learned so much on this site. im lucky got a bp to shoot .i spent most of my free time reading page after page. my day off is today im gonna do the couple chores for the lil lady then head to the range to blow off some pyrodex and try to convince myself its as good as REAL black. {ive never shot any}

Here's a collection of photos of the ROA. There's some variety out there.

Keep checking Gun Broker. A stainless ROA just sold like new in box for $450.00 + $25.00 shipping. It came with box papers etc. Made in 1992.

I bought a slightly pitted barrel blue ROA for $290.00 + $15.00 shipping. It is in very good condition.

"In my experience", most expensive to least expensive... more or less

5 1/2" adjustable sight - factory guns may not even exist, but rumored to.
5 1/2" stainless fixed sight
5 1/2" blued fixed sight or 7 1/2" stainless fixed sight
7 1/2" blued fixed sight or 7 1/2" stainless adjustable sight
7 1/2" blued adjustable sight

Factory stag grips are a big plus, not many of 'em optioned this way.

Jbar you left out the most coveted, early factory shipped brass frame OA, only 1479 shipped, flathead
