I've got my carbine, musket (with a new one on its way, to be picked up at nationals), revolver, and smoothbore; next on my list is a repeater. While I kind of like the looks of the Spencer a bit more than the Henry, due to ammo capacity, ease of obtaining brass and bullets, etc., I think I'd go with the Henry for the team matches.
I've got no preference as to 44/40 or .45 Colt; I know some guys favor the 44s but I am already set up for the .45 so that would be worth considering, and my teammate does very well with his, so I know it can be done. I am leaning toward the steel frame models over the brass- they don't tarnish as much and they are inherently stronger.
First: Anyone have one for sale?
Second: What would a fair price for an Uberti be used vs new? I see them online all over, from $1200-$1550 for the same gun, and I'm not sure if one represents a really great deal or one is just a rip off, or what.
