still pinching myself...... yep awake.. and happy

[kritter]

I'm still walking around with a silly grin on my face,, more so tomorrow morning when I hit the range with this one..
Oh, it's a "N" series gun not a "S"..
kinda got me thinking.. about the shop now.. I didn't ask about the story of the 27. But, was told before that often people will call in asking for "Clean-out's" ( when a family member has passed or moved into a retirement home, the family sells the contents of the household for a fixed price) I'm willing to bet this is where this one came from..
lucky for me, they are close and I can stop in once or twice a week..
And I did leave my number, just in case something else comes up or they have questions about any firearms they come across.. or if they need help filling out a 4473, again.......lol

I'd take it back!

What!!!!!!!

I've had some crazy scores in my gun buying career, but I've never bought anything like a 3.5" 27-2 for essentially 13-14 cents on the dollar.

I'm happy for you.

What did you say the address of that shop was?

 

[Shooting Padre]

Good to keep checking these spots. Like they say, If ya ain't fishin', ya ain't catchin'. Nice catch, want me to clean it for ya??

 

[iggybabble]

Thats exactly why i stop and check out EVERY little Mom and Pop resale store i see.......you never know what you might find

 

[boykinlp]

A 27-2 with a 3-1/2 barrel and check out the price.. Ended up being $165.00 out the door..
the "stuck cylinder" was fixed as soon as I got home by tighten the ejector rod..and yes I also bought a lottery ticket too.....

Fantastic find!!! When you got home, were you able to open the "stuck cylinder"? And if not, just for curosity sake, what method did you use to tighten the ejector rod without opening it?

 

[Isis1200L]

Jeeze! If that don't beat all. Congrats!
Good gun karma that is, indeed.

 

[TheHobbyist]

This has to be one of the best buys I have ever heard. Congratulations and WOW.

 

[MiGS]

I kind of hate you

Now I know how comedians felt when Carlos Mencia got a show.

 

[Mark6005]

Great good for you bet you turned cartwheels when you tighten it. I would. Wonder though being in a gun shop business how the world things like that get overlooked? Bought a 64 once was the same way open the cyl turn the rod counterclockwise it's fixed. Congrats enjoy

it's Easy-peasy.. pull the hammer back about an quarter of an inch until the cylinder turns free, hold it there, then insert something non-marring ( like a popsicle stick ) into the ejector shroud, trapping the ejector rod and turn the cylinder.. tightens up the rod enough to open the cylinder ..then tighten it for good, ( spent cases in the cylinder first please ).. lemon squeezy

 

[model70hunter]

Congrats. Super find. When the alarm goes off get up and go to work. Nice dream.

As you say...they were not gun people.

Wonder what mom and pop paid for it? Is it hot, or did they simply think it was junk? Even if it didn't work, it's worth at least twice that much.

I know a business deal is a business deal, however, because they aren't gun people and may have unwittingly sold me something worth much more, from an ethical standpoint, I would have went back to them and let them know of their mistake and simple repair and would have offered more. If they declined, then I would sleep better. I know I'll probably get flamed, but that's the way I was raised.

Well, respectfully, I don't agree. They named the asking price and he paid it. Done deal.
