Euro arms Rogers and Spencer Revolver

[BatBoy]

Local guy has a Euro Arms Rogers and Spenser 44 revolvers for sale. What’s a decent price?

The guy is asking $540. A search on gun broker for past closed sales shows that is in range and reasonable. If I factor in the sales price and that gun broker will involve sales tax and shipping.

What do those in the know say? Also, anything specific I should inspect or look out for? Anything peculiar about this revolver I should know?

Problem is parts. It's a good gun. First one I bought a long time ago.

That seems in the range of what they go for. I have one with a badly pitted bore. If you haven’t handled one or shot one the shape of the butt and the long reach to the hammer to cock it are different from a Colt or Remington. Good ones have a good recommendation for accuracy.

Condition, condition and condition...With out these no way to judge fairly...c

I bought a London Gray model recently that also had a fairly rough bore. However, the gun still shoots pretty well.

They are excellent revolvers, and haven't been made in many years. They are in my opinion among the best for target work.

Fairly popular in N-SSA competition circles. They are pricey compared to other reproduction revolvers as they have not been made in some time. Also as others noted parts could be a problem.

I picked one up for $300 last year from a seller who thought it was an 1851 Navy. It's my one and only "I gotta deal" story.
