Magnum Research is shipping, plenty of nice revolvers and the prices haven't changed much in the past 2 years.
It isn't related to manufacturing cost like you all suggest. You can see this because your run-of-the-mill 357 Smith was selling for $5-600 on here and wouldn't sell. Now that gun is 8-900 and sells quickly. More for pre-lock and early versions that have collectible value.
It's renewed interest and demand that is driving them way up. Sure rising tide raises all boats too the market is a factor but the market is very strong for them now
It is not made for the soft hands of IT folks, I will give you that.That's because a large bore uncomfortable grip SA revolver isnt exactly a hotly desired item.
They all sold a hour after we opened yesterdayNortheast Arms in Peabody just got in some Henry 22 and 357 lever guns. No idea on price. You'd have to call the shop.
Anyone notice the prices of current production Winchester 94's ???
They used to be easy to come by and not all that expensive, but that changed when the Winchester plant in CT shut down and production was moved to Miroku in Japan.
Miroku refused to cut corners to lower the price, in fact, they increased the quality and the Miroku made guns are outstanding, better than anything that came out of CT during their last 20 years of operation. However, it came with a near doubling of the price.
If you want top notch quality, it'll cost you.
My kids also told me that revolvers are sexy…
