Is this a good price for an 1851?
« on: May 21, 2010, 07:04:45 AM »
I found a dealer that will sell me a new Uberti Cimarron 1851 Squareback for $278.61. Shipping is another $13.

This sounds pretty good to me for a Cimarron but I wanted to check with you experts first.

The best price on a non Cimmaron Uberti I have found so far is $260 + $15 shipping.

FWIW, the only Uberti I now have is a Cimarron Dragoon, so I don't really know the real differences between the two. I hear and have read that Cimarron pieces are pretty much hand picked Uberti's. Might not be true but that is what I hear.

Thanks!

Well, since no one else will answer, I will.  $278 plus shipping for a NIB Cimarron steel framed '51 Navy is a good deal.  Sounds like you're looking at Buffalo Arms.  They're good folks to deal with
