Wow! Mint Rossi Overland cam my way!
Tuolumne Lawman:
Working part time at the local gunshop has its advantages! I was at work the other day (actually the acting manager when the owner was gone on vacation) when a guy comes in with a couple guns to sell on consignment. One was a nondescript bolt gun, and one was a pristine Rossi Overland 12 Ga. hammered double Coach Gun with 20" barrels.
I asked him how much he wanted to net after our 20%, he said "$325". I bought it on the spot in a Commiefornia Private Party Transfer. I then turned around and processed it into my name on a DROS through the shop, all in the same day. Commiefornia has a 10 day jail, but not planning on shooting any matches until after I get it out.
It is identical to the Rossi I used started CAS with in 1994, and used for many years. I sold that one when I went very inactive in CAS in the mid-2000s, and have been looking for the right one at the right price since I went back very active around 2016.
Anyway, I have, as of late, been using a nice bobbed 97 and a super clean Ithaca Lefever cut to 18.5". I promptly turned around and sold the Lefever to a regular customer for $500. $150 in my pocket and a beauty of a Rossi Overland! I even have some spare firing pins for the Rossi that I had a machinist friend make up back when I had the first one.
