Sorry about your earnings drop. Gold is up 15% this year…for now. Went up 26.3% last year.
Most of what little gold I’ve got was purchased under $2k/oz. I’m done buying gold, and keeping what I have..
Wow…Congratulations on that sweet deal. Beautiful 66.
People keep on knocking gun shows, claiming that there are no good deals to be found, you have proven that to not be true.
I too found a 3” 66-4 at a gun show for about what you paid for yours, but that was a few years back…bought it from a...
Going by memory….I had read that -4s were made in small batches, as ordered. The batch count for the lettered one is 150. I have yet to see another with the same serial prefix.
This letter mentions how many -2s were made for Ashland, but for some reason it doesn't mention how many -3s, or -4s were made (the number i had requested), and no actual total number.
I agree, we need 627s with standard barrels. They did produce a 4” version of what you are wanting. 627-5, product code 163357. Too bad they were produced for only 2 years. Obviously, they’re scarce.
…just like the nearby convenience store that refuses to sell tobacco or liquor to anyone who does not allow them to scan/copy their drivers licenses. Showing the birthdates on the DLs isn’t good enough. Sad that so many fools need their smokes and liquor that badly.
The one i posted above was lettered to a distributor in Florida, which is why the box was still with it. It was shipped with Magnas. Can't recall the distributor's name...the letter went with the gun back when i traded it.
Edit to add...it was also a gun show find, and neither the dealer nor I...
I'm betting that whoever he leaves that gun to will dump it at a pawn shop for maybe $200.
True on "the same guns at every show". There is a dealer that has been trying to sell a pair of 66 snubs, firm-priced at $1600 each. He's had those in his case for at least 3 years. I offered to sell him...
Gun shows are hit and miss. I still see 3rd Gens at the shows, and have recently purchased a pair of fair priced .40s. There have been several 659s and other 9mms on the tables. There are also those seen on a regular basis because they are way overpriced..like the 40XX (can't remember exact...
Nice 4013! Hard to find a reasonably priced one these days...surprising since so many people were convinced to dump off their .40s and switch to 9s.
And good call on looking for another to convert to 10. I bought a 4053 to switch to 10, but decided to leave as is.
Agreed
I had a 3" CS-1 without the "M" stamp. Still had the original box, and it lettered to being shipped to some distributor. Prefix was "AYD" (going off memory)
