This one may take the cake……
$7K for a gun that doesn’t even have a caliber conversion….

Once upon a time I'd have called this a poor-man's conversion- that is starting with a 454 or 480 factory gun and upgrading it vs a line-bored full custom.
Even then, if these base guns are now around $1500 plus $1500 in work there's no economy there when you can get a TLA No 5 for $3200. Apples to oranges, but for my SA dollar it's not worth half the asking price.

I figured Perfected Bisley No 2 with that DX front sight, extra for the recoil proof ERH, extra for the decking, extra for the pawl, shipping, probably extra for test firing.
It's a nice gun, and a reasonable package at MSRP+BCA cost.

Definitely more gun insanity. I don't know what people are thinking. That includes those who ask these prices and twice as much for those who pay it.
I had one perfected by a top gunsmith and have about $1400 in the whole package.
You could buy several Freedom Arms at that price. In fact, I just paid less than half that amount for two dual cylinder FA97s.
I just don't get it...

The 3 gun set he has listed has the original bill of sale from John in the photos. John charged $32,000 for the set, that comes out to $10,666ish each.
