    Ruger Old Army

    In the unlikely event that I have any money left after Christmas, I was pondering the idea of getting an ROA. Given they aren't available new any longer, what sort of money should I expect to pay for a stainless steel one in good condition?

    regards
    Nigel

    Don't worry about them no longer being made, there are about three and a half million world wide!

    Stainless, 7.5" barrel, adjustable sights, gun only, s/h, about 300 quid. With some accessories and aftermarket grips, 350. That's all being equal and it's been well looked after.

    I have one of these and I still think they are the best made ML revolver made and I've had several of the others. They don't find favour with the MLAGB because they aren't a replica of anything but they will last you a lifetime. There are still new ones around checkout www.guntrader.co.uk If that fails my local gunshop has a brand new one in stock. Send me a PM and I'll send you the details.

    Peter Starley had 8 new in the box last week - may be worth giving him a call - the very last batch.

    When I bought my ROA, I had a slot for a .44, but had to get a variation to a .45.

    That sounds cheap at 195, possibly a very old one, as they have been made since 1972.

    The Ruger Old Army is a 44 cal. Mine actually says so under the barrel, behind the rammer, so mine is on my certificate as a .44.

    The chambers are .454 but the barrel itself is .44 . Just checked that with my micrometer as I can't always rely on my memory

    Steve.
