Found another good old revolver 15-3 circa 1971

[press-1-for-english]

I went to the LGS to pay for the 4506-1 I had put in the back a couple of days ago. I get there and sitting in the used gun section is this beautiful, possibly unfired Model 15-3.(1971 per SCSW) No box,papers,or tools but I couldn't resist at $500. Could you?

Couldn't pass that up. Nice piece. Enjoy!

That would have come home with me at that price. Heck, probably for $100 more that that price. Congrats on a great find. I'm due for one of those, really I am.

Me too! It's either feast or famine around her with older pre-lock Smiths.This is the 3rd handgun I bought from this store in the past week. A 1984 Model 60 ND, a 1995 4506-1, and now this 1971 15-3. May it never end!

I would have bought that so fast my wallet would have caught fire. Nice score!

Congratulations, and no I wouldn’t have passed it up.

M15's are shooters, for sure . that is a nice one and a heck of a deal!

 

[Slufstuff]

Nice revolver! That is at least $200 cheaper than Model 15's in that condition go for around here. Great buy!

Just bought a 67-1 this weekend so now I've gotta go search for a great blue one like that ---congrats

I already had a 67-1 so I guess I went in the opposite direction. lol

Very nice Model 15-3 and congratulations on the purchase.

About a month ago I replaced a 15-1 that I sold in ‘76. They aren’t too common around here, this one came into the shop I work at as an outright purchase.

Not pristine, grips were trashed and replaced by some Magna grips in my parts stash, has holster wear, a small rust spot on the left side that’s kinda hidden with a Oxpho Blue touch up. One side of the rear sight blade has been flattened along with the front blade, appears to been dropped. But mechanically light, good lockup and bore. My employee pricing sealed the deal.

Even so, if one like yours shows up it’s mine too.

I still work full time as a pediatric nurse. If I ever got a part time job at a gun store I don't think I would ever bring home a paycheck. lol
I just lucked out on these 3. Sometimes it pays to listen to the voices in your head.

Excellent purchase. If only the serial # was further back.

You got a great revolver at a very good price. I paid $100 more for my 15-3 (1974) at a local auction 8 years. Enjoy.

Further back in what way? Where it is stamped on the butt?
