1959 44 Flattop

[Heliman]

Yesterday, I picked up a 1959 44 Flattop at the local gun show. All original, SN 157xx. Has a 6 1/2 " barrel. In good condition with a little bluing wear on the cylinder. Purchased from the son of the original owner. $545, but I got to wait for the background check (10 days) to take possession. I am pleased.

Gotta make sure he is legal... You don't want to make it easy for law abiding people now do you?

get a NICS exempt card. all 50 states are authorized to do it, unless your state chooses not to do it. it's part of the Brady Bill. I have mine. no back ground check for 5 at a time. ....

Washington state law…..
Must be 21
Must have proof of completion of firearm training
Cannot purchase "Assault" style weapons
Cannot buy or sell high capacity mags
Must complete a background check
Must wait 10 business days to receive the firearm
When you go to pick up the firearm from your FFL licensed dealer there is an $18 fee payable to the state.

I have 65 years experience handling and shooting all types of firearms.
I have a current hunting license.
I have had a concealed carry permit for 40 years.
I am a life member of my NRA affiliated gun club.
I used to be a firearms instructor for young people.

I think I am qualified and luckily received approval to receive my firearm……in 10 business days.

Good deal.
I had a couple of real nice ones.

 

[Watertender]

I think this is about 1959. Not as nice as the ones you guys have but it's as close as I can get.

 

[Randyzzz]

Wow! Better go buy a Lotto ticket. That's a steal!

I think Oregon is trying to copy WA's crappy gun laws…
