Sharps 1874

[good guy 176]

You'd get your best price by listing the rifle on GunBroker where it'll get maximum exposure. I sell locally FTF, I consign at Tyler Firearms in Halethorpe and I sell on GunBroker. I get decent returns at all three, but the auction feature of GunBroker produces faster, more productive returns.

If you aren't into selling over the net, however, I'd make it available first to the Marriottsville Muzzle Loader club at AGC. You can find a contact for the club by googling the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore site.

Also, my Ranger buddy operates Gooshevn Gun Shop in Warren, PA and he might be interested.

BTW, that's a Sharp looking rifle.

I sent you an email just now. Thanks.

Oh man, I believe that is the gun that LaBouef was using in True Grit (2010) - one of my favorite movies. I remember looking at some a while back, but looking to spend money elsewhere at the moment.

and don't forget Mathew Quigley's 1874 with the 4 inch extended barrel.

Does $750 sound reasonable?

Wow, nice rifle!

Yes, it does.

Listed this one for sale in the exchange here yesterday.
Have been trying to sell it locally also, with no luck.
Everybody I know is broke
Anybody have any leads for me on someone who may be interested?

Most of us are tapped out due to the events of the past few weeks. Give it a month.

I wish you were closer

Ughhh! I wish I had a spare $750 not doing anything... an 1874 Sharps in 45-70 has been on my wish list for a very long time... good luck...
