Need info on wheel gun
I am looking at adding a wheel gun to my collection and will be looking for a used GP100 SS 4" or 6". Since I don't have any experience with what to look for when shopping for a used one, any tips/pointers on what to look for would be appreciated.

I haven't owned a wheelgun in years...
And for what its worth, the first thing I kinda recall to take look at is the cylinder gap...See how much "play" is in the cylinder in all aspects of operation...
I believe for the most part they'll work just fine for you...
Should be a fun project for you to find one...
Looks like it might be a bit big for a BUG though...
