Looking at another Pietta 1851

[AR. Hillbilly]

This is at the LGS right across the road.
The guy got it in and immediately called me.
Nib but a bit tarnished here and there. The cylinder has copper in the scene. Makes it really stand out.
Not sure if I like that or not. Appears to have never been fired but date code says 2016.
Asking $300.00  that’s more than I want to give but I like to support this store. We live way out in the country and to have this store is a true blessing.
Just curious what everyone is seeing new ones sell for  recently.
I can also trade in if I chose.

Forgot to mention it’s a 36

AR, Hey there. Good to see you. If Midway had any Pietta .36 cal 1851's they range from$280 to $375 depending on how fancy. The $280 Pietta is a basic 1851 .36 cal steel frame blued 7.5 " barrel. Explain more about the cylinder if you can recall. Also, do you know if it's a steel frame?

The price is not out of line with today's economy and scarcity. If it helps support a LGS I say go for it. Double good on ya!

If you decide that that gun is for you, walk in and flash $250 cash and see what happens.  Tell them that is all your wife (mother, girlfriend, psychiatrist) will let you spend.

Supporting a LGS is fine but don't be a welfare society.  That price is no bargain.

I gotta agree with G on this one.

AR, all good things to consider before buying.

I couldn't remember seeing a 51 navy with copper in the engraving so I set out to find one. I found this Pietta .44 mag 1851 that sold for 405.00 in December. Shipping was only 50.00.   https://www.gunbroker.com/item/917820608

It's a brass frame .44 listed as a .44 mag and actually sold for over 400.00.

Good work Hawg.  We were wondering what the 'copper' looked like.  At least the one AR found is .36 which helps.  Is it brass or steel?  Schnieder & Glassic's will do, in a lean year.

GORGEOUS .44 Mag, no less.  Stunning and bold or is that brave and stunning? I forget, sometimes.

Tartted-up .44 brass guns can be ever so gay.

The one I’m looking at is a steel frame

[G Dog]

Twenty points.  Gotta have a Navy.  The etching stuff will likely rub out with/after some use.  It's reputed to be less than durable.

I wondered???
I don’t care for it my self.
I have a 44 brasser  and really want to get a 36 steel frame I will try to sell if I get this. I also have a very nice 1861 Army.
I can’t get pics to post. Always too big. Iphone

AR. I too use an iPhone. I usually forward to my email then select a smaller size when it asks. Then post from my email. Extra step to go through but it works. Hope that helps.
