savingmypesos Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I am looking for a West Hurley. Can anyone provide useful advice on where to look for reasonable pricing and availability? TIA, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye_Joe Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Keep looking on the Boards, Sturmgewehr and Subguns...Religiously...grab it before someone else does...Post on those boards that you are wanting one, put a price range on your WTB ad...if you have Gunshows nearby, go to them talk to the guys who have the NFA weapons.. Getting one for a "reasonable" price is not impossible but you do have to do some "legwork"... I got mine for more than I originally wanted to spend, but I haven't found one cheaper than what I'm paying for it. either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 The W.H. listed is what I paid for my Savage, only about a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpanda4 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I paid the same as Sgt for a Savage 6 months ago, too. But keep in mind there is about $1500-$2000 worth of accessories - if the drum prices stay at $500+/per. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1930sRust Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Start calling around your local (read: in-state) class 3 dealers. I bet only 5 percent of them or less advertise on places like subguns or that crazy Buddy site. I walked into mine about two years ago for $7200 at a C3 up the road, but I fear those prices are gone forever. Who knows, you may find one. My dealer, http://www.eliteguns.com/index3.html, gets them now and then. I know he's had four Westies in the past year. Might not hurt to call him (Jason) and see if he has leads...

Sgt Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Yea, Panda, I didn't notice the three drums and other accessories. That does help offset that final price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Why limit yourself to a WH when the originals are about the same price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland, Headless Thompson Gunner Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 My 28 Westie arrived at my dealer yesterday. Getting closer to possesion. I paid 10K with the 50rd drum but no other extras. I winced as I wrote out both checks but figured that was the most I would pay for a WH. Resist that urge for a 12.5k WH. Prices can be negotiated.

OldFalGuy Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Dearest Jim they are not the same price if you are describing "originals" as the early Colts, they are double what a WH 1928 wil bring today. I paid a bunch for mine in the box about a grand more than I should have but I wanted in before they could go up more as they surly will do-Next year it will look like I own it right even though less is better, at my age I would rather have the extra time to shoot it than search for it. Trying to get all the NFA types I want now and then let the devil take the hindmost regarding future price increases. Now on to the AM180 search.
