I have a Browning Black Powder Sillouette Rifle, in 40/65 caliber,99% 100 rds. fired,
with sights, Lyman snover mold, sizer die, top punch,Redding reloading dies, with a comp seater die, 5 sticks of SPG lube,200 rds. of starline nickel brass, 200 bullets cast in the Lyman mold,2 boxes of the Lyman sillouette bullets, 800 walters wads, and a new blow tube,the box is worn from looking at it so much, beautiful wood, what would be a good price to ask for all this sold together, thanks for your input, WF.

I would like to add that this rifle is now sold, thanks.

Trying to force it all on the same buyer might lessen your chances of selling the rifle. You might check with GBO member TexasMac for value on the rifle. He's done an in depth study on them and is writing a book on them. He should have a good idea of the real value of it. The other stuff you might have a hard time moving as a lot and insisting on moving it as a lot with rifle in my opinion really limits you. Now you might find a buyer that wants it all but you also might not.

You are so right, but for someone who is just getting into shooting sillouettes it would be great, 100 rds. of the brass is already fire formed to the chamber, and there is 100 bullets cast and lubed ready to load, blow tube already made, you wouldnt have to buy anything but powder, and ill throw in 2 pounds of Swiss ctg. grade powder, i have over $1,500 invested but i know ill not get all of it back, i have got layed off work and hard to get employed when your over 50 now days, just thought i would check and see how much people thought it would bring, would make a great Christmas gift to someone, thanks, WF.

Actually I think you should be able to get your investment back. I sold my BPCR perhaps as much as three years ago now right here on the GBO Classifieds and got about $1400 or maybe it was $1500 for it then. They are up not down now.

If you price it at $1500 especially with all the extras here on the GBO Classifieds I suspect you'll sell it at that. The gun alone should be worth that now I think. As I said Wayne aka TexasMac is really up to date on such things and can advice better than me on the worth of it.

I sent TexasMac a personal message to see if he could give me a rough idea whats its worth, from what you got for yours there may be hope for me yet, thanks for your input, WF.
