wts/wtt 1871-72 open top-colt barrels

[pakmc]

I have two 1871-72 open top colt replica barrels, they are blue and are 5.5 inches long. I brought them new from Taylors guns to convert my 7.5 inch open top colts to 5.5 inches.( I came down with heat stroke and my cowboy days are over. these barrels are for the .44 special pistols but will fit the pistols in .44-40 cal.(all ubertis and taylors .44 barrels are now in .429, not .427.)I tried to raise the sight of one one barrel and that didn't go well.
pictures on request. I would prefer FTF in Houston, tx. area, but I will ship if the deal is right.
please make offers that are reasonable. these are bare barrels, only! pm861@sbcglobal.net

I would trade you a reasonable amount of leatherwork for these barrels. FWIW Uberti never made 1872 Opentops in 44-40. www.whyteleatherworks.com

your right, I'm mostly refering to the size of the barrels which are 429. I was off, I haven't played with these in a while. I think the only .44-40's or 1873's or in the schofile. i'm sorry but leather goods don't seem right to me! I'm thinking of BP pistols, and/or reloading stuff.

I have a few MEC JR 12 reloading presses, a 3 hole LEE press, a big ol' Herter's single stage press. Or maybe pure tin ingots or some 50/50 ingots. Linotype ingots? A Texan balance bean scale? What do you need, maybe I have it.

hi Springfield, I reload every thing I shoot and I pour my own bullets and powder coat them. I really don't need anything, but I do shoot 6.8 SBC and 300blk.(+most pistol calibers)ok, mostly revolvers(AT my age I hate bending over and picking up brass. I'm into black powder again,(for about the third or fourth time) and just pistols. I also have two 7.62 uppers for AR's and I reload for them also.ok, plus two .30 caliber carbines. would you have any black powder pistols?? I"ve got four now, but I do pour soft lead balls for them (.36 and .44's), I"m not familiar with a TExas scale, tell me about it! and/or pictures

It is basically a Redding scale on Steroids. Measures up to 500 grains, comes in the original box and looks almost like new. I never weigh bullets so I don't anything other than my Reddings.

[pakmc]

that's quite interesting,I like balance beam scales, (they don't have batterys), any thing else you might have that would be interesting? I'd really like to move these as a pair, one has my uh oh where the front sight is.
im thinking my two barrles are worth somewhere between $100-$200.00 would you have any 6.8SBC brass or 300 blk brass? or .270 factory bullets or .308 bullets,(i'm just throwing out things we could maybe do a trade on, and/or the difference in cash?) talk to me and lets make somekind of a deal!.

[Springfield]

I have a few pieces of 300BLK, not really sure what they are worth. How many plus the scale?

[pakmc]

how about some where between 100-200 pieces?

[Springfield]

Deal. I'll go hunt it down, still haven't got around to loading it myself yet. Could you send me a pic of the barrels to whytelw AT comcast DOT net so I can see what I will have to fix on the front sight? Thanks, Springfield
