Re: B-92 357mag worth?
I guess it depends on if you want a shooter or a collector's piece. Figure the price of a new Rossi up, depending on how bad the finish is. If the blues solid the wood is easily refinished. Best '92 ever made. I'd pay $600 for one that just needs the wood refinished in a heartbeat.
