Up for consideration is a 2" S&W Model 63 .22LR stainless steel J-frame revolver. This gun is in great condition, both mechanically and aesthetically. I bought this piece NIB from the original owner that had bought it in 1991 and left it in his safe for the ~20 years before selling it to me. I've ran ~800-900 rounds through it with no non-ammo related issues. This is a very smooth and accurate piece...don't let the short barrel fool you, it'll put 6 shots into a 1" group at 50' if you do your part
A very fun plinker and a great way to train on your shooting technique without spending nearly as much for .38/.357 ammo.
These guns are pretty scarce among the S&W circles. I'm not saying they're super rare, but you can't just go out and find one whenever you'd like to; and when you do, you'll usually pay for them! They started making these in the early 90's and quit making them sometime in the mid-late 90's. I'm not sure why these aren't seen more often on the used market...but my assumption is that guys who own them, don't want to let them go. Of course, this piece was made before S&W started using MIM parts and Internal locks; so this Model 63 has all forged steel internals and no lock. It was made before what many S&W guys see as the real downturn of the company. Interestingly, this one is marked (both on the crane & the box) simply "MOD 63"...it should read "MOD 63
-3". Just a neat little detail.
This gun would come with it's
original box, papers, tools, & stocks.

IN TRADE:
I'd trade for a clean 9mm
Model 3906 with fixed sights...not a 4006, not a 4506, not a 5906, not a 6906 not a 3913, etc...
no other semi's. I'd also trade for one of the Ashland Model 617's without the barrel lug or perhaps a 3.5" Model 27, in nice shape (aesthetically and mechanically). I'd also trade for a pre-lock snub
Model 627 or a clean
Model 4516-1.
I'll gladly answer any questions or post more photos for those interested in a trade. Please PM through the forum with offers. We can discuss the +/- of $ as appropriate.
Thanks for looking,
