Found and bought 17 boxes of shotgun shells. Most are 16 gauge in 2 9/16. They are Winchester Ranger ,Win. X-pert, and Rem. Shur shot. There is a half of a box of winchester rangers that each shell is stamped -Thicket Load-.One box of Peters High Velocity -12 guage.
She also has a Browning 16 guage with poly choke,that will just shoot the short shells. Will buy it next. She also is going to sell me a 1873 Winchester in 44wcf,a remington model 24, and a remington model 550-1.[8D][:D]

    Ruger .44 Mag Vaquero Bisley 4.5/8 barrel. Vaquero's made prior to 2005 had heavier frames. Seller needed money, cowboy rig included with a box of shells. She shoots sweet.

    That's a decent looking rig you got with it also.

    I had a 4 5/8" BH in 45 Colt years ago that I reloaded for to carry on the rivers in Alaska. That thing was, to say the least, a bear to hang onto when I tripped the trigger. That Bisley grip makes the heavy hitters much more comfortable to shoot.[^]

    That Bisley grip frame will make shooting the .44 mag much nicer. Definately a nice set of grips.

    Very nice, I much prefer the feel of the Bisley grip over the standard.

    Anyone have an idea what the rig would be worth? It is size 42/ .44/45 cal. Gun fits a belt holster of mine for a K Smith.

    Stamped Mexico. Looks well made. I just will never use it. No idea what they cost new. It isn't new but probably 95% .. My Lab took a smell of it and thought it was her rawhide bone..[:D]

    You used to be able to pick those Mexico rigs up at the gun shows for less than $50. Sorry but it didn't add much to the deal. By the way, I have that revolver in .45 Colt but with 5 1/2 inch barrel.

    I was all over it for the price the seller had.. Didn't really care if it came with the rig or not. Use to be able to buy ammo for 18 bucks a 50rd box too.[V] Now you only get 20 of them for that. I am thinking the rig will bring at least what you said. Box of 44 mag PMC ammo 180 gr came with it. When I sell the rig I will have $265 in the gun. I was looking for an older one made prior to 2005 when they had heavier frames. This one is a 2004.

    I wouldn't throw rocks at that rig. It looks decent.
    If the belt don't fit'ya let me know. I Might have enough horse hide for another belt.

    Thanks for the offer, but I went with my state listing.

    I bought a rig like that one in Tijuana Mexico in 2003 for $30 bucks. The store owner stared off asking $50 and I told him I was not interested and as I was walking out the door he said $40 and finally he came out in front of his shop as I was walking away and said $30. I figured that the heck and bought it for $30. They're well built and if you found one made in the US like it you'd not get it for $30 that's for sure.
