Just saw the current southern Ohio gun listing of trade in model 64, specifically the non bobbed version for 289
Anyone buy one?
I know the instructions and outs of trade in but why are they so much lower than everyone else I've seen on the 64 trade in. Right now their model 10 are 60 bucks more, just wondering if anyone had bought one of this batch and had some insight

Did not buy but my LGS typically sells model 10/64 police/prison trade ins for about that price

I haven't bought one of these but I have a 64 police trade in that is a very nice gun. Based on their description of very good to excellent condition, they sound like a good buy.

So you missed the M64 SOG had at $219.00. I think it was on Memorial Day weekend.

Thanks for the input, trying to see if anyone has actually bought one and can clue in condition

I purchased a model 64 from the Baton Rouge Police Dept. trade in a few years ago. My most often shot and favorite gun.
Very accurate. The stainless finish is easy to keep looking good.
Carried a lot, shot little and mine has a great trigger DA and SA.
Grab one they are nice.

Mine was $205 from SOSS a few years ago.
Had a dinged crown.
Bought a barrel here for $40 and it was then GTG.
These guns seem to have been really badly treated, so expect some damage, hopefully only cosmetic.

My LGS got 4 of the SOG DAO M64. All 4 were of good to very good condition. I would have been happy with any of them, Hope that helps.

My friend and I each purchased one of these SOG model 64's about a month ago. At the time they had several different engineering changes. We requested 64-5's. In our experience that meant adding $10.00 for hand select. In summary, we were both pleased with what we received. They were shipped the day we placed the orders to our FFL. Now as to the revolvers. Mechanically they have good timing, lock up tight and have no end shake. Triggers are typical Smith & Wesson excellent. Very faint drag rings and good rifling. Both appear to be as shipped from S&W with new style ejectors and Uncle Mike's grips.

Cosmetics were a different issue. As it turned out, we received a square butt and a round butt. Sight unseen, I said I would take the round butt. Well the square butt was very clean, hardly a nick on it. The FFL was very impressed. The round butt was another story. More scratches and dings than I could count, all shallow but it was obvious the Ol' 64 was carried hard and not much cared for. As my FFL said, "I carried one of those for 20 years and it didn't look that bad". Well, as I said it was purely cosmetic. Nothing a little 600 grit and 1200 grit sandpaper couldn't remove. (The beauty of stainless steel guns.) I've attached some pictures of my 64-5 after cleanup and a little Mothers Mag Polish. (Sorry for the size of the pics.)

We took them to the range and both shot to point of aim.We agreed that the more pristine square butt had a slightly better single action trigger but the Ol' 64-5 round butt had a smoother double action, probably because it had been shot a lot more. Ironically the best group of the day was by my friend using my Ol' 64-5 round butt

Looks pretty nice for the money. I'd love one of those 15'songs for the money but don't find them online and none locally as far as trade in.
