Local shop has a nice 27 6 in barrel, looked at in showcase, priced at $1200, is this out of line or require future inspection?

The price is not out of line if you are looking for that model and bbl length. I don't think you're going to make a killing flipping it. The 5" and 3 1/2" (and 4") are the most popular right now and will command higher prices. I had two at the last gunshow in 6" blue, one NIB presentation case for $1600, one like new with a factory red post sight for $1200.
