WTB: python, refinished or otherwise non-collectible

[D.R.E.]

I'm looking for a python, any barrel length. I'll be shooting it alot rather than adding it to a collection, so ideally it'd be something that had no real collector value b/c of refinishing or some equivalent alteration.

Of course, inexpensive original condition pythons work too, as long as the internals/accuracy are LNIB ;-)

This is for SF bay area; prefer PPTs at jackson arms, but other places work too.


Thanks,

This will be about the cheapest and available for you to purchase. The last time I talked to them was they said it is PPT capable. You might want to call them first.

Thanks for the quick reply! I had looked at that, but I was concerned about the rust --- while cosmetics are not that relevent, if there was *rust* on the outside, who knew how badly cared for the barrel was. Plus $800 is a bit much given the condition. I just got a amazing python for $900 --- it's only problem is that it's in such good condition I feel bad shooting it. Hence the non-collectible backup. The action on those things really is as amazing as people say...

Thanks again for pointing this out.

what barrel length is your amazing Python, and what finish, just wondering.

Fairly standard: 6 inch, blued finish. Hopefully I didn't come across as overclaiming --- I just meant it was amazing to me, since I've never shot a python. After Rugers and S&W's, doing rapid fire w/ that thing stunningly fun.

It was a lucky deal: the guy's father had owned it and left it in a safe; he just wanted to offload it. There wasn't even really a turn mark on the cylinder.
