357 Big Boy X model (avoided)

A local guy put a X 357 Big Boy fired only five times up for sale for $900 or trade for an AR-15. I didn’t want to spend the money right now but considered offering him an AR. I resisted due to possible legislation banning the sale of AR’s in the communist state of Washington that’s pending. Happily the rifle is now sold so I can stop fretting about it.
I’ll have an X one of these days but I would prefer it to be a 30-30.
Whew, dodged that “bullet”.

Not the post I expected either!
Hatchdog, if you find another, get it - it's a hoot to shoot, and won't break your wallet in ammunition.

Good decision on not trading. Buy one when you can.

Right you are Mike_S, I’m fortunate to own a Big Boy Steel in .357 and I agree, they’re a hoot to shoot.

You are correct as of today but our state legislature is working very hard right now to put a ban in place for many firearms including AR’s, some shotguns and even some handguns. I expect this to become law this year. Sure hope I’m wrong,

I hope you are to Hatch, haven't kept up with the news there. Be going back to visit family this year and won't be bringing my AR
but hope to do some razor clam digging and get some fresh oysters. Despite the politics it's a beautiful state and lots to enjoy.
but that was definitely not what I was expecting.
