Trade for Cart?

purplewg

I have a like new Dan Wesson Model 15 -2VH 357 with 8 inch barrel. I bought this new in 79 and it is still like new. I have the original box also. I was at the gun show last weekend and and could not find one. Dealers said they are becoming collectors items and values for this model depending on condition is running $500-$850. If you have been to any gun shows lately you know you can't touch a large caliber handgun for less than $500. I bought this to deer hunt with and I did kill a deer with it years ago and never used it again. One of the most accurate 357 revolvers available according to popular opinion.

What I am looking for is a decent condition cart. I would prefer something 2000 up but will consider all. Depending on what you have I will come up with the $$ difference if needed.

This is what I have.

Had one and they are a fine firearm.
If I were you I would sell it to someone or at a gun show or gun shop.
What is the least you would take for it?

Thanks. Good advice. I guess I won't be needing a cart after all. I had bought one for my mom who will shortly be placed in a care center so she won't be needing the cart. I will just modify the one I bought her.

I need to do some more value checking on the gun. There is a gun show here every two months. Maybe by the next one I can find a good source for what it should be worth and go from there.

Without the Display box, the other barrels and spanner wrench that came with the gun it won't be worth as much, but it's still in the $500 range. So, you are 1 Eyed Jack?

Yeah, I didn't buy the kit. When I bought mine the kit only came with barrel lengths up to 6 inches. I wanted the 8 inch for hunting accuracy. I did see one at the last show with an 8 inch barrel and if memory serves me right the price tag was $850. I don't expect that nor do I have any delusions of the value of the gun. I figured in the $500 range as almost any large caliber handgun there days brings that much.

Oh I do have the gauge and spanner wrench and original box and paper work.

Oh, I forgot to ask. What is the 1 Eyed Jack.

I used to have a Dan Wesson in 45LC. I'm sorry that I sold it now! I wouldn't be in a great rush to sell yours. Not only is it in beautiful condition, these guns will be collectors items. There is a new Dan Wesson company, but it's not the same!

purplewg

Yeah, they have open and closed several times. They are in NY now under Wesson Firearms. Owned by CZ-USA. The Czech Republic. Guess they found a way to import their guns.

May be able to pick it up.
