1. Want to Buy

I realize this is a "long shot", but who knows. I am interested in the break-action, Bland-Pryse, .577-caliber revolvers.* I've only seen a tiny number over the years, in various conditions. If anyone has one for sale, please drop me a note. Thanks.

* They look like this:

Hmm,? Interesting piece. Looks somewhat like a Webley. Is there ammo available out there for this caliber?

Not that I am aware of; at least in this country. If I recall correctly, the author Ross Seyfried handloaded cartridges for this type of revolver.

Parenthetically, the custom revolver maker Bowen made a .577 revolver some time back. There is an article here, should it be of interest. Cheers.

Looks like there is one up for auction:

where you able to locate a pryse .577
I have just seen one sell for 25,000
I have a tranter .577 and am in process of buying a crack open pryse ( did not pay that much for it!)
I am attempting home baking ammo for them, we'll see on that .

Nope, never located one at a price I was willing to pay. The one that was in Ian's video went for a ton of money. Gratz on finding both a Tranter and a Pryse.

Pic did not seem to post, but if you care to re-upload, that would be great.

My tranter
Will be selling it

 

[CountryGent]

If you are interested in selling, I would be interested in the asking price. I am also 01FFL (dealer) licensed, so could easily handle the interstate transfer. If you care to, please drop me a private message. Thank you.

P.S. Welcome to NWFA, by the way.

That's an 1800's BBQ gun! Needs stippling, window cuts, and some punisher skulls to reach operator status though.

I was thinking 8900.00
I found two while back for 15000.00 Canadian which equals over 11000 u.s.
