Local guy wants $300 for a 25 year old Uberti 3rd Dragoon.  Doesn't look too beat up from pics.

Who would even consider it?   A no-brainer.  Get a new one; call Midway.

The Dragoon arrived just a little while ago! And it is indeed a 2nd Model.

It's not bottoming on the face of the cylinder, although it could be on the frame. I'll have to check by dropping a shim down the arbor hole. Haven't really had a chance to play with it yet.
