What are the Model 66-2, with 2 1/2" barrel. No box,or paperwork.I would rate the gun above 95%. Has black rubber grips. Not sure if they are factory,or if it should have walnut grips on it.
Model 66-2, 2 1/2" barrel, what are they worth?

I'd say around $600, I don't believe the rubber grips were factory original. Originals would cost $40-50.

I sold mine in March of 2014 for $650.00, no box or papers but it had non numbered original stocks.
I just paid $750 for one in very nice condition but with non original grips. They are hard to find. I like the -2 due to the smooth combat trigger. Also like to look and see if loaded at a glance. The P&R thingy is overrated in my not so humble opinion.

Unfortunately Under $700 now would be a very good buy.

I sold the same model right here to a forum member for $750 about 4 months ago with correct magna grips.

Y'all are right on the prices as far as I can tell.
Here's my track on the Model 66 snubbie:
Smith & Wesson 66 2-1/2 inch barrel. Revolver in .357 Magnum,.38 Special, Plus P. Blue Book of Gun Values (35th Edition) indicates between $561 in 95% condition and $754 in 100% condition for this gun. I have 80 recorded prices for this model gun from $436 to $1103 over a period of 3 Yrs 7 Mos ending July 5, 2015. The average price as of that date was $695. No refurbs, no refinishes, regular sights. All represented as 95% or better. No distinction for engineering revision, if any, no special editions, no distinctions for box, papers, tools. Current or last MSRP is $614.
The last 10 prices I have for this model since 2/10/2015 range from $600 to $975 averaging $743, so the average is climbing.
Here's my dash five:

Ha ha. Yup, snagged the wrong link. Thanks. Fixed...
Glad somebody else started this thread. There has been one sitting in the case at a LGS here for about a month wtih 2 sets of grips (one aftermarket and a set of Smith target style/not magnas) for $650. I bet I can get it for $600 out the door. May go grab it.

Yes you really should. That'd be a smokin' deal!
Thanks
I have just been a bit spoiled. In Dec I got a 66-1 with box/papers magnas and Smith combats for $800 total. The gun was actually $600 and I grabbed the combats from the same guy about 2 months later for $200. I guess I just need to realize that was a fluke type deal.

I've thought about selling my 66-2 off and on over the years but with prices going up I think not. Used to be a dozen or more on GB where I found this one for $425.
Good luck with your search.

Guess I'll be holding onto my 2.5" 66-3. I bought it new back in 1990.
I did end up getting this a few hours ago from my favorite LGS. $600OTD. Came with both sets of stocks although the Smith Target stocks are for a square butt. I will have to figure out what kind of Magnas were correct for the gun and search for a set.
Its a 66-2

I'd be all over that, if it was mechanically sound.

You bet - very good deal.
The police should be notified that you are planning to rob this poor guy.
