I am thinking of parting with my Mike Curtis built wadgun, and am wondering what a fair value would be. Older build, still tight and accurate. Built on Springfield frame & slide, Kart barrel,wilson barrel bushing, 1" Ultradot mounted. Thanks. Don

You might want to contact Mike Curtis himself and ask.  It would vary a bit on how deeply he reworked the pistol.

A simple upgrade with a barrel and bushing with a slide mount on your SA frame is one thing.  A complete frame up high end Curtis wadcutter custom build is another.

Nonetheless, you have a hen’s tooth there.  You truly should speak to Mike before you list it, he may even be able to place it for you.

Here is a previous Curtis gun listing that may give you something to compare against.

 This gun has excellent provenance, was listed for sale by a reknowned gunsmith, and presents the original test targets.

Thanks, I just have a question, not a build request.

He is not taking work because he doesn't have his FFL.  Had to surrender that when he went to work for ATF.

I sold my backup Mike Curtis for a little above 3k, generally they bring 3500 and up, the one I have now I value at 4500-5000,(not for sale)  very hard to find but worth every penny.
