Well, it depends on how bad you want it and how badly he want's to sell it.

The gun retails for $785, but can be found new for $600. So, if it were me, I'd be looking to pay $550 for the gun.

The ammo is the big question. 45-70 ammo ain't cheap and finding it for $1/round is a good deal. 400 rounds could run over $400 for decent ammo.

If you could get the whole package for $800 that would be a steal.

In this case the factory box is irrelevant. This gun will never be a collector's item in your lifetime.
