Freedom Arms FA-S-22LR value

I was offered one of these without the belt buckle, but not sure of value. I would assume it is 98%, maybe shot a few times. Can someone look it up?

Don't know what the book value is, but I recently sold one (without the belt-buckle) for $370.00. I see them (quite frequently) at private estate sales. Condition will dictate the final price, as will the buyer/collector's eagerness. With the buckle I paid $475.00 for one that was "NIB", and felt that I got quite a deal.
Just my experience...nothing else.

Hmmm, I will be picking one up. I was going to convert it from safe queen to shooter.

If you do pick one up to use as a shooter, make sure the front sight blade is firmly attached. I've seen quite a few of these critters that are missing the front sight blade, This is about the only weak point that I have come across with this mini-revolver. The front sight is actually welded onto the barrel, and if the weld isn't good it's going to come off. Other than that, they are a nice little gun.
