The NIB Octagons make more sense though, theyre discontinued so a price closer to $600 isnt unreasonable i feel

But yes, anytging much over $500 for a round bbl in the usual 3 calibers is pushing it

I am liking this SBR mares leg by iraq vet 8888.

take around $1000 to make it happen.
tax stamp $200 I believe, then buy mares leg and the full stock.
rather have rossi, but sometimes you go with what you can get.

I just talked to Mark at Summit Gun Broker who tells me he still has a few 20" 45 Colts and 44 Mags for $445. They should be roughly the same vintage as mine and it has turned out to be the best Rossi of 3 I've owned over 10 years.

I wonder how the quality of these are? I know when I was buying -about 4-5 years ago...it was not wise to buy a Rossi sight unseen...mag tubes not fully installed ill-fitting wood, barrel bands on way too tight, canted sights, etc...

Is that still how the Braztech's are?

I would say that the later rifles, rifles with known manufacture dates of '16 or later, from serial number lookup or now laser etched on the receiver, are well-built rifles. The complaints about these rifles here on the forum are low or non-existent.

Looking for a couple in particular to complete a couple of "sets" that I have started. Just hope Rossi brings those back.

Thanks again.
Which would those be? If theyre some combination of 45, 44, or 357 with round barrels of either 20 or 16" length in stainless or blued finish its a near certainty short of the company folding

If theyre octagons, case colored, 24" barrels, or off calibers like 454 480 44-40 etc then i wouldnt hold my breath. This coming from someone who is foolishly waiting for new 454s round bbls or 357 octagons
Actually waiting/looking for a 357, 20", Octagon, Case-colored and a 44 16", saddle ring, large loop lever. The last one can probably be done up with aftermarket parts, but it's a bit spendy to do it that way.
