Default Hunters Supply 65-3's
This place has a number of 3" 65-3's on GunBroker. They all look rusty. Has anyone bought one from them? If so do they clean up and function as they should? Or are they a p.o.s?

Mine was nice. A bit of pitting under the grips. I polished it with Mothers and it gleamed. I sold it after a month or so o buy something else, though.

I purchased a 4" 65-3 from my local shop. It came in the same brown box as shown on that Gunbroker listing (distributed by CAI). Here are some pics:

Out of the box:





After some elbow grease:





The store had two 65-3s, and I picked the better one. The other gun was very rough and dinged up. My gun functions great and is one of my favorite shooters now.

10 days, eight working days! Bob, where did you get your 3" 65? I'm looking to get my "Grail" gun as a retirement present to me.
