I've got two Ruger Old Army revolvers one SS one blue. Does anyone know what the value is?

Thanks I did not think they would be worth so much. Does CA require a FFL to transfer these revolvers?BURTComment

No FFL required for blackpowder non cartridge firearms in California, that means ball and cap or muzzle loaders are cash and carry.Comment

As others have said, cash 'n' carry for black powder firearms.
Why are they worth so much? Several reasons:
1.) Ruger ain't makin' 'em anymore (why, I have no idea).
2.) They're built on the Blackhawk frame, not the Remington 1858-spec frame, though they do appear superficially similar. That means the Ruger is really strong (gee, big surprise there).
3.) The name Ruger."San Francisco Liberal With A Gun"

They're kind of beloved. They're very strong, very accurate, there's not a lot of similar models, and people don't usually sell them so even though there aren't THAT many people want one (which is why they stopped making them) they really don't come up for sale that often and they definitely have their fans. Shouldn't be any problem selling them (and if you're in the bay area feel free to PM me).Comment

The real reason they are worth so much is that they are THE gun for cowboy action black powder events, and as they said above, they aren'y making them anymore."We got too many gangsters doin' dirty deeds, too much corruption and crime in the streets. It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground...."Comment

I have been watching Old Army on GunBroker for past two months. Eight months ago I bought one NIB, for $400+shipping. There were about twice as many Old Army's for sale at that time. Starting price was $250-300 and most sold for $350-450. No real rhyme or reason why prices went up, but now most start at $400-450 and sell for $500-550, that is for stainless steel, blue is less popular and go for less. I don't know if prices will stay up or come back down to what they were.
The only exception is 5.5" Old Army with fixed sights, they are rare and go for $750-800. Recently I saw two go for @$900 each.Last edited by MyOdessa; 03-15-2012, 7:29 AM.Comment
