Hello green chili,

I'm fortunate to have the 16-4 in all three barrel lengths, purchased several years ago. I paid about $1000 for each of them, with boxes, etc. They are beautiful guns / great aesthetic appeal. Shoot great too.

First, concerning D. Brown's visit to the Orlando gun show...

If somebody told me the gun (with box) was only worth $600 because of the turned cylinder, that would make the rest of the discussion very simple and brief. Either the person is really ignorant, or most likely trying a lowball offer... just in case YOU don't know what you have.

I'd walk away and wouldn't engage that kind of buyer for any deals... no trust there.

Now back to your actual question...

When in comes to value, I'd probably estimate in the $1000 to $1200 range. You can find the paperwork and anything else needed over time. The price range would be condition dependent.

At 95%, I'd offer $1000 in a heartbeat. Since you say it's a friend selling it, you probably know it's use history.

Good luck,

Roger aka Mr. Wonderful
