I just picked one up in good condition for $140, I've seen them range from $120-$180 though. ASM parts are harder to come by because they went out of business. Uberti or Pietta would probably bring in a higher price. Still a good gun though.

The CHAMBER of a firearm is the part which accepts the loaded cartridge or projectile and powder charge. It is usually found attached to the breech end of the barrel. It contains the explosion/ignition of the powder charge and allows the projectile to exit and travel into the barrel under the pressure from the expanding gasses from the ignited powder charge.
