what are you dragging in i have an 1886 winchester buffalo gun who are you buffalo bill
no my name's anthony
i came to the pawn shop today to sell my winchester 1886. the gun was handed down from my
grandfather from his father i collect a few guns it's just this gun isn't a gun i could really use
so i wanted to get rid of it and turn into some cash let me check this puppy out
this is one sweet piece so this is what the cowboys would have in the old west
riding around on the back of their horse there was many variations and many models
used in the west sun and this gun is rare in this caliber it's 45 90 45 caliber slug with 90 grams
of powder behind it it was called the elephant gun it was used for big game so you're telling me this
gun could take down an elephant yes wow winchester makes some of the finest guns in the world
this one's so powerful the kick might break your shoulder if you don't know what you're doing
this gun's not been put in the closet this thing's been used the blue one's all gone other than that
everything seems to be in good shape how much you're trying to get out of the gun sir
5 000. uh and this caliber is super rare but i need to know how the condition affects the price
so before we can cut a deal i would like to get a second opinion on this
all right i just like to get a fair deal sounds like a plan hey timmy give craig a call
i need to talk to him all right i'm concerned about him calling in an expert but i've done
my research and i know that this gun is worth something so i'm pretty sure i'll get my price
it's a rare gun so before i make an offer i need to have craig our expert look at it i got dum-dum
calling him up oh that sucks because the old man needs your help i'll let him know thanks
craig's not available what do you mean well you need craig to look at that gun yeah i can tell
you all about it it's a rare caliber son i want an expert opinion before i put out big money
craig's not available so i'll just let me look at it and i'll tell you about it i'll tell you
what it's worth why don't we just try to escape him why don't you just let me look at the gun
what the hell is the skype it's like a telephone call but you can actually see the person so it's
like a video chat yeah i'll do it because i have his opinion the idiot over here in the corner i
actually do this with craig all the time sometimes he's busy at his shop and i just need him to take
a look at a gun real quick all i have to do is put in my name here and i already got craig right here
and boom now it's calling him have a seat he's not going to be able to do this
say hey dory hey what's up hey richard hey what's going on not much surprising to see you up on
skype yeah well i'm learning or trying to anyhow this guy brought in this winchester it's a 45-90
my concerns are is the value naturally and i want to make sure it's all original 4590 is a great gun
because it's very powerful they didn't make a lot of them i think it's probably the rarest caliber
they made on that gun so that's a plus one in the direction of it being worth good money um
does the gun function yeah the guns didn't work in order correct okay can you read me
the serial number 67690 1892. so you've got a fairly early gun it's certainly nice that it's
before 1900. do me a favor hold the gun up closely i want to sort of see the front of the barrel
so i kind of like this that's not a that's not something i normally like to see but all right at
least it's through computers wait a minute back at you hey guys have you taken any pictures of
this gun that you might be able to send me yeah i took a few let me send them over to you real quick
this is pretty neat corey there you go they should have just yeah the pictures
are actually really helpful the finish on this gun isn't that great um it looks like it's been
fairly heavily cleaned you know the stock also looks like it's been refinished
refinished poorly so whoever had this gun did some major work on it you guys have a measuring
tape or a yardstick or a uh you know what i want you to do is measure the barrel 25 inches
you sure about that well tape measures don't lie that's true okay barrel's been shortened
you know if this gun was not restored it didn't have a shortened barrel because it's a 4590 it
would easily be a six to eight thousand dollar gun maybe even 10 grand or more i'm gonna guess the
gun's probably worth between three thousand and forty five hundred dollars on the retail market
okay well thanks greg hey by the way if you get the gun and you go shoot it
invite me i'd like to come along i've not shot a 4590 before i'll have you and rick
go out and play with it excellent thanks a lot craig these tanks are pretty handy
i guess these computers can do more than just solitaire what's happening guys i talked to my guy
okay what do you say how much can we get for this the gun's not in that good of shape
they slipped by me i didn't realize that the barrel had been shortened
that is not an uncommon practice in these guns oh and that really matters in the value yeah it
matters about three thousand dollars worth in value my expert appraised at 3 000 to 4 500.
i'll take 4 500. no you won't because that don't leave nothing for me
i would be a buyer in the neighborhood of 2500 dollars yeah 25 is really low i mean this gun's
been in my family for a lot of years yeah well i don't deal in sentimental value how about 4
000 can you do 4 000 i'll push it to 3 grand but the only reason why i'm doing that is the caliber
i'm giving you a fair deal sir i mean it has the serial numbers it's stamped
is there any way you can do 3 500 i'll take 3 500. ah
i shouldn't but i'll give you 3 500 for it okay that's a deal thank you i was really shocked
that two inches off the barrel made such a huge difference in the value of the gun but
3 500 is gonna go a long way to help me pay my bills so we're taking it out to the range to
see what it can do i'm ready to show rick how to shoot this thing he's been a little cocky lately
i'm really excited to shoot this because it's a piece of history and i've never shot a 4590 before
got a very powerful round so when it goes downrange you hear it you feel it uh if you're a
buffalo it will kill you you guys know what this is right yeah it blows up it blows up it goes
yeah it's a lot better than shooting a paper target there's two separate powder substances you
mix them together we'll put it down range i've set up a bale of hay and uh if we hit the target we'll
know all right let's do this one of the risks of shooting a gun that's over 100 years old is you
never know what's going to happen there could be problems with the structure of the gun the
action of the gun and when you're shooting around this explosive the gun could blow up okay chum do
you hate polar bears hello do you hate lions hello do you hate water buffalo i hate pigeons okay well
you're gonna shoot a big like two thousand pound pigeon with this i like okay all right
elmer fudd let's see if you can hit it hi rick corey cowards i'm gonna show you how it's done
nope here let me try
all right chum this is how it's done
yeah how it's done
come on rick
almost you hit the hay that time the sights are off but the gun works but the gun works
but the sights are off no the sights aren't off let's just use the ar-15 and blow this
up
oh god my heart exploded should we like run out of here
real quick i don't know if we were allowed to do that
things shot awesome it was fun well if you get far enough away where people can't find you it works
oh they found me over there too at times is that right what are you what are you doing
is that a group video call shh be quiet i didn't know you had that many friends you
don't look very happy richard i never am that's the truth you created a monster cory shut up you
