Default S&W Model 67

Came across a used S&W Model 67.

Ad says, "For sale only is a stainless pre lock S&W Model 67 in caliber.38 Special manufactured in 1973 w/pinned barrel."

So would this be a 67-1? Guy is selling for $475. Is this a good deal or is the price a little high? Any help/opinion is greatly appreciated. I've attached photos of the revolver.

Actually, that is a "no dash".

Notice the stainless rear sight.

Fantastic price on a fantastic pistol.

Now a question..... Why isn't at your house yet?

Yes, I'd probably buy it also, even though I have a few 4" S&Ws in the safe.

Check the endshake and cylinder lock up, timing, et cetera and write the check. I don't think that you'll regret it.

This is a no dash model 67 and is very likely a 1973 as the picture shows it has the stainless rear sight that is worth a $100 premium according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson. The 67-1 change came in 1967.

The stainless sights were hard to see in daylight and S&W, in response to many law enforcement agencies and customer complaints, changed to standard black rear sight. My 67 dated June 74 has the stainless sights so the change was probably soon after that.

$475 is a great price! You better go grab it quick before it’s too late.

That's a great price. Grab it while you can. Here is my 67 no dash.
When I bought it there were pits and scratches, so I had it bead blasted.

Assuming it's not a well-worn 67 that's been ScotchBrite pad restored, it's a good price around these parts. Of course try paying maybe $25-50 less but have the backup cash in your pocket.

If it is the one I think it is, buy it.

I've posted this before but I bought this one for $300 with no stocks. It was polished and looked like a car bumper so I had my gunsmith go over it completely and restore the brushed finish. I bought a correct set of the Magna stocks it came with but keep a set of my checkered targets on it.

The stocks on your gun appear to have rounded bottoms so they likely came on a snub-nosed gun; four-inch guns usually had flat-bottomed stocks like the ones in Charlie699's photo.

For an excellent condition Model 67, especially an early one and even more so if it still has a stainless rear sight, that is a very good price unless there is something mechanically wrong with it.

Being an early No-dash, it should have had Magna grips. I guess it was possible that it somehow shipped with PC's. IIRC, grips would still have been numbered to revolver at that time. I'd be interested to see if they are numbered to the 67.
Either way,,,,, great price that I would not have passed up!

OP: If you buy the 67, make sure the lug holding the cylinder latch and the screw securing the rear sight are tight. Both would loosen on my 67 until a 'smith Loc-tited them. This was not uncommon on stainless guns of that era: those lugs would also loosen on my first 60 and later grail gun 64 pencil bbl.

The 67 is my 1st revolver, bought in 1973. Never really liked it because it was not a 66. Still don't. Yet it has fired more rounds than any other of my guns and always allows me to shoot a perfect score on CCW quals.
