New UNFIRED stainless 45-70 barrel price?
« on: December 03, 2012, 06:21:15 AM »
I'm really leaning towards getting the 45-70 UH because I like the nickle receiver and the thumbhole laminate as a base for 35 Whelen.  If I wanted to make the sale of the completely new and unfired barrel within 4 weeks of posting the ad, what would be a realistic price I could get for it?  Thank you
An no, I will not keep the barrel. I appreciate the caliber but have no use for it.  The WANT part is the very fact my handi's are USE orrientated :)

The SS Ultra Hunter 45-70 frame isn't nickle, it's stainless, the only stainless frame they've made.  ;) If I were selling mine, I'd prolly start at $175, but it's not for sale.

Stainless Ultra Hunter with Thumbhole Stock

With today’s advancements in flexible-tip ammunition, the 45-70 Gov’t. has been revitalized. And its big-bore power is harnessed in our first-ever rifle to feature a stainless barrel and receiver. This super deluxe single-shot has a brown laminated thumbhole stock that offers exceptional aiming comfort, plus a velocity-enhancing 24" heavy barrel to facilitate the extended-range capability of today’s high-performance 45-70 Gov’t. loads.

That's good to know. Learn something new everyday. It would seem that frame would be in high demand in rainy climate areas.

Thanks, Dinny

'Polish it up'
Nope, I dont want it reflecting; I remember an article that made a strong case for a brushed or mat finish SS as being far less reflective, and thus visible to game, than a dark blue that is on well polished metal. Its not the color, but the reflectivity, I guess. Same with Blaze Orange, if it is on a shiny material it gives you away over being on a 'soft' material.

Just practicing for when you post the barrel.  (Patiently standing in line.)
