AlexTheSane 236 Posted August 22, 2013 I found this auction with 18 minutes left and no bids. Couldn't figure out why no one else had bid. Totally expected someone to outbid me, but I won the auction. Can anyone see anything wrong with this? Did I get a good deal? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=360073785 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireanicz 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Well, if you wanted a used gun then it was a decent price for it. New retails for $699-$799 depending who/where you purchase from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted August 22, 2013 Just looking at the pictures, it doesn't look too bad. It's hard to tell but it looks like there are a lot of light scratches all over the SS (probably from someone wiping it down with a dry rag) which isn't a big deal if you don't mind it. Receive it, clean it, and shoot the shi* out of it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NicePants 58 Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like a good deal. And it doesn't have a hillary hole. That's always a plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted August 22, 2013 Just gotta check the cylinder lockup... I would say that's a nice pickup.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted August 22, 2013 Looks good, assuming the timing is good. No lock in it, - Pre 2002. Looks like it may have an aftermarket rear sight blade on it.... I don't know if S&W ever did the white outline on the rear sight notch ( pizza bob can confirm that one ) it'll probably look much better in person, the flash of the camera usually brings out all the little scratches that are hardly visible in person.

djg0770 481 Posted August 22, 2013 It's stainless. Most of those apparent scratches can be polished out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
