Saddle ring carbine
« on: January 26, 2006, 11:47:14 AM »
On the (www.antiquearmsinc.com ) site, they have a NY state saddle ring carbine 1871, that sold for 3,695.00. It has a breech block just like No#5 roller. Thumb lever sticks out to the right, looks like small fireing pin in breech face.

Did some one get taken or what.

Hard to say for sure really. I never see anything but brown, rusty examples of NY State guns, and they're almost all rifles.
 Will the fact that this gun is so nice, and a carbine, justify the seller's price? Seems the ugly ones are going over $1,000, so maybe one that nice in a carbine will justify the over $3,000 tag. I wouldn't pay that, but then I'm not a Rolling Block collector. I love them, and if I did collect them, this would be a prime example, and it might be one that a serious collector has been waiting for.
