Is There Any Interest In '73 45 ACP?

[Lonestar Hoss]

I know that we're not supposed "To Go Fishing For Sales", but I've been out of the game for a few years, and I doubt that I will shoot much, if ever. I do keep my membership with SASS, as I do still buy and sell a few things.

I have a 24" 1873 that I had sent off to be converted to 45 ACP, and it's probably had less than 300 rounds through it. If there is still any interest in a set up like this, I'm just trying get a ballpark figure. IF someone is interested, I can get more particulars, and post some pictures. If you want to PM me with your thoughts or questions, instead of replying here, I get it. I  can assure that I'm NOT a scammer, and if the moderators think that this isn't a proper post, then I will delete it. I think that it has a Pioneer SS, not the super short, and a brass lifter. I sent it to Cody to have the conversion done.

Anyhow, I'm just wondering if anyone still uses these, or if I assembled a Dodo bird. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,

LH

Try listing it in the classifieds. That's where you will find interested parties.

I'm still on the fence on whether to let it go or not. It's my last 73, and it is just sweet to shoot. I may wait a while and see if I can improve my abilities. I wasn't much of a threat to win anything before, and I still find putting rounds downrange therapeutic. I mostly do off of a rest with much smaller things now, but would really like to get back to being able to complete a stage, and hopefully a match.

Lonestar Hoss,

Putting rounds down range is definitely therapeutic, whether it's in a competition or by yourself at the range. Just shoot for fun. 😁

For the right price there is always interest! Although usually folks that need to be coerced to sell one of their prized firearms usually do not do so cheaply!

I've had a few '73's, and they are my favorite lever guns. I've held onto this one just because it's different, but it's smooth. I like different, and traditional at the same time, if that makes any sense? I had a 1885 that was in 6.5, and I lent it to a friend, and he took it to far west Texas, and was hitting targets out to around 1300 yards. He wanted it at the time, and I blinked, so he found something different. I did eventually find it a new home earlier this year. I have a couple of others, and now I'm back to hoping that I can get back into this. My first love is a good SAA, but when I went down the rabbit hole of 1911's, I took several branches. 1911's turn into 2011's, then something close but different, so then it's Browning Hi-Power, then CZ's, etc.

That reminds me, I have a couple of projects that came back, and I need to get them out and smooth them out after being cerakoted. I don't generally get on any kind of media, but when it cools off a little more, and I finish up my rework on the house projects, I may have to dust off a couple of things that I'm working on, and share a couple of photos on here. I'm not into "Blingy" things, but I do have a thing or two that is a little different from everyone else. I may have to make a couple of new post post in the future, and see what ya'll think.

Thanks for all the feedback, and I think I will stay with my current cards for now.
