I noticed the same, I picked my 83 field grade 454 up on Rimfire Central classifieds of all places...just noticed the ad one day killing time scrolling through. Got a heck of deal on it and lots of ammo to boot...You just never know when and where they are gonna pop up.

so they are out there, just gotta be patient and have a wad of cash set back ready to pounce!

 

Amen, I got the time
Glad it wasn’t just me!
Enjoy that 83

 

I acquired my model 83, field grade, ten inch 44 Magnum used probably 10-15 years ago and I have enjoyed it immensely. Since then I have always kind of wanted a FA 357. Well last week I spotted a nice model 97, premier grade 357 with the box for sale on the big auction site and I offered the seller a price lower than his asking price and he said ok. So sometime within the next week or two I should be getting it in, can't wait.
