Ruger Old Army

[Ripmyfly]

I have read through most of the posts below and it appears that they are at least well made. I have a chance to trade for one that is NIB. Never been fired only handled a couple of times. It is SS. I really want a BB revolver & while now is not best time for me I can probably trade to make it happen. My questions.... 1) Is this a good one?  2) What is approximate value given the stated condition & being stainless steel?

Thanks guys!

They are a very good gun. Well built. Take a look on the auction sites and see what they're going for. They aren't being made at this time, so they will only get scarcer. I've seen them go for from $200.00 to as much as $500.00 or even more. I have 2, and have never regretted getting them.

In the condition you state, resale value would be greater than a Pietta or Uberty, but cost more as well.  If you can get it in trade, all the better. Quality is superb.

Rip, I'm a die hard 1858 Remington BP Rev shooter/Collector...I never thought I'd own a ROA Ruger Old Army, I got a Blued one last Nov. bought one in stainless steel this past month local...I strongly recommend you trade for it. if you want something else after shootin' it contact me I got a safe full.

The Ruger ROA is one of, if not the very best BP revs made.

They are a design of their own - e.g. not a repro.

tyhe works are almost exactly like the cartridge Blackhawks.  Highly reccomended.
