Ruger Old Army stainless version. Any idea of value?

[ted_dent]

I have a chance to buy the stainless steel version of a Ruger Old Army black powder revolver. However, they are out of production and I have no idea what a fair price would be for one. Anyone have any idea what these go for? It's in excellent condition.

Any & all input would be appreciated.

ruger old army

gun show pricing here shows normal blue finish pieces between 350- and 400- so expect stainless to have about 75- premium. condition is everything on these.

Considering that continuing-production Uberti Remington 1858's easily go close to $400 new , that $300 is almost an overly safe bet !.....

IIRC, one ROA in stainless steel, that popped up on our EE went for about 575 or so.
I think it was the USA centennial year model. I wish I'd bought it!
I don't think it lasted three days here.

It was less than that
And it is bicentennial not centennial. Made in 1976
It's sitting next to my bicentennial 30 carbine Black Hawk

Thanks for the correction.............and I'm envious of your purchase!

I would say that any in good shape for less than $600 is pretty fair these days. Particularly in stainless.

Would take more than that for me to part with mine.

Thanks for all the input. Had a look at the gun & it's like new with holster & spare set of nipples. Seller wants $500 so it looks from the replies like he's in the ballpark pricewise.

Saw a blued one at the Claresholm gunshow yesterday for $575.

In excellent condition and with the extra's you can't go wrong at $500, if you have an opportunity to try it out that would be a good plan just to make sure you like the way it handles.
