I did end up buying the gun, and actually it was $38. Last month I paid $75 to another dealer to do a transfer into the state from Massachusetts on a pre-15, and I guessed it would be the same. This 586 is like new. In the original 2 piece box, no M stamp, no turn line, unopened tool kit, all papers, even the original receipt of sale for a something over $200. AAC serial number puts it in 1980, maybe 1981 production. If it weren't for some faint copper in the rifling, I would believe it was unfired. I have always wanted one, and I bet I'll never see a better one. I'll post some pix after I pick it up Feb. 2. ezb
