Model 66-3 value?

BCWood64 · Dec 15, 2016

Hey guys I put one of my rifles up for trade, a like new Henry Big Boy Steel .38/.357. A gentlemen offered me a Model 66-3 which he claims has only 20 rounds through it. He wants my rifle plus 200 on my end as well. He said he might have a box but isn't that sure. Was wondering if you guys could give me a ball park price for it. I don't have any pictures at this time.

Maybe you should look on gunbroker, gunauction, or armslist and see what people are asking for them. But giving him boot for a revolver that probably isn't a 3" would be a long reach for me. In fact it would be of no interest unless he had the box, papers, tools and it was at least a 100% original 2.5". The Henry is a $850 plus tax rifle. Only a 3" 66-3 would exceed that.

I did look on Gunbroker and couldn't really find any Model 66-3s for sale.

What is more important than the dash number of the Model 66 is the barrel length. If it is a 3" barrel, it's worth much more than a snubby or a full-length (4" or 6") version. Can you be more specific?

Have to agree with others....... 3" 66-3s are selling for $1000+

Other 66-3s are in the $600-800( anib with all the extras) with 2 1/2" guns bringing more than 4" which bring more than 6" guns...................

Don't know much about Henry's but if Flintghost is correct IMHO it's a wash on a trade........ for a 2 1/2 or 4 inch gun....... and he may owe you a couple of bucks on a 6 inch trade.

Here is a crappy pic of the gun.

Probably a $600.00 gun around here. A bit more if it's got the box and papers.

I just put a 66-4, Ladysmith, 2 1/2", RB combat grips on layaway. Tag price was $650.00.

The Henry I have no idea about.

I'd agree; + or - $600...............a common 4" nothing special ...... not P&R'ed...................

Thanks I sent him a counter offer of just the Henry. I know the seller and don't think he will budge from his initial offer.

Question is how bad do you want a 4" 66 and how often do you see them for sale.......and how bad does he want the Henry........

Good Luck.... hope it works out for you....... not so much worried about the other guy......... unless it Federali (Who IIRC is also on Long Island!

)

BCWood64 · Dec 15, 2016

He didn't take my counter offer of just the Henry. So I told him 100 plus the Henry. See what he says.

BCWood64 · Dec 15, 2016

He offered back 150 from me, mouse my Henry. What do you guys think?

LOL See my post #10..................... Old Joke:

Would you have sex with me for $1,000,000?
For a millon dollars....... why yes!
OK how about..... $20
No !!.... what do you think I am?

I think we've established that; now we're just haggling about the price!!!!!!!!

I would pass, unless it's a pristine example in the box and you REALLY want it.

BCWood64 · Dec 15, 2016

He claims it's in mint plus condition. Still working if he has the box or not.

Have you checked what a new Henry would cost at a local gun shop.

Tell them you're thinking of getting one as a Christmas gift.......youknows he wants your Henry........ what would he have to pay for a new one?

Bud's Guns ...Henry Big Boys are in the $650-700 range

Can't be many "used" ones for sale!

Local store, the Henry seems to go for 719 + tax. His main point is that he can go and grab a Henry right now if he wanted to, but the Model 66-3 I could not. He wants my Henry which I value from 600-650 plus 150 dollars on my end.

He buys a new Henry and he still has his 66........... worth $600....or trades the 66 for $400 toward the Henry.

He's looking at $719+tax ( in Pa that's 7%) ...... for a new Henry; that's $770.

so he can trade the 66 +$370 for a new Henry.................

IMHO used guns start at -$100 from new so lets say.......... $660 max for your used Henry.

He wants you into the deal for ($600-650 + 150) between $750- $800 for a 4" 66.

IMHO it's an even swap on $$s....... we are back to.... do you want to shell out $110 to $140 for a 4" 66.

Bottom line Henry+ $150 cash out of pocket... for a 4" 66...... how bad do you want/need it........if I didn't have one .....maybe.

How much do you have in the Henry?...less than $770?? ...... add $150 and that's what you will have in the 66
