It all boils down to how much profit you want to make out of your $500 dollar purchase
Sell for $1k=profit of $500 etc....
The PSL is not a $2700 rifle, one would ask...what else can I get for that amount?.....a damn better rifle that's for sure.
I agree...gone are the days of the $89 for case of 400 corrosive ammo. Seems shooting the 54r is not as fun as couple years back in terms of $ per round
If the only reason you started shooting this stuff was because it was cheap, I have nothing for you. If you bought it becuase you thought it was __________ but cheap to shoot did not enter in the blank why sell it......if cheap to shoot did you really think it would last forever.
54R really is not much different from 3006 and that is how I went into it.....in fact I am trying to think of anything I have ever bought....as in ANY THING where I put down my money going this will be cheap to shoot. IMHO that is a very wrong reason to buy.....well anything. If you are looking at a toy car.....(toy car is something you don't use to drive back and forth to work, groceries...that jazz) and thinking man I really don't want that 72 corvette with the 454 it will use just too much gas, you are going into it wrong. Now sure you could use the corvette to take you to work, or go grab groceries, but that is not why you bought it....just like you could use the PSL to shoot a deer, or go on a pig hunt....that is not why you bought it.....if it is you are not doing yourself a service.
It reminds me of bubba cutting up a 91/30 spending $500 on it on top of the $100 he spent on the rifle so he has a good hunting rifle.....well yea....it will likely shoot almost as well as a $300 Savage, ruger, mossberg....take your pick.
To this comment....is a garand a $3000 rifle, you can buy a gun that will do everything better for less money, not the point.....and really why I went on this last big blabber.
You spend what the gun is worth, you are not really buying a gun, but you are buying into the collector market.....face it if it was not for people likeing old stuff for whatever reason the landfills would be full of lever guns, bolt guns....all this old stuff would be out......is a modern glock a "better" gun then a single action, but you buy an original colt you are going to spend 4X what that glock costs.....and the glock is a better gun in every way.....not the point.
To the OP.....if you are tired of it sell it, just know you are not going to buy another one for what you sell it for, and if you wait 12 months it will go up in value.....something that glock is not likely to do....and that opens up a new can of worms.
