Another how much is it worth thread - 627-2

[rubiranch]

You better run and get it NOW!! I have hardly ever seen them for sale. I chased the 5 inch 627 for around 15 years. I came up with two within 6 months and paid nearly the price as on this one about 4 years ago. The second one was lots more!!!

There were not many 627-2s made. They were made in both 5 and 6 inch barrels. Some CDY serial numbers and some CCU serial numbers and one other series that I don't remember.

They are great shooters and soak up magnum recoil very well. I saw one 6 inch like new in the box sell on GunBroker for $3976!! The last 6 inch I saw sold for about $1400 a year or two ago. The 6 inch is much more common than the 5 inch!!

The lettering is laser engraved and not very deep. I would not polish it at all!!

Well you'll never guess what I did today.........

Temptation is the only thing I've never been able to resist so now I own twelve .357 Magnums.

This one will be another shooter. It feels really good to me.

Are those the original stocks?? Not that it matters because I like them.

 

[rubiranch]

It is well worth $700, or $1000, if you like it. It can be your 181st last gun of the year (so far. )

3rd to last. I have my eyes on two more .357s. Nothing fancy.

Then I'm done.

 

[rubiranch]

Always looking to quench that thirst with the next one.

I wish I had a thirst quencher for you.

Its not that I'm thirsty. I just have dry mouth from some medication I'm taking and this was just what the doctor ordered.

He told me to take it with a glass of ice cold water and I'd feel a lot better.

I do feel a lot better but my mouth (and wallet) are still dry.

Thanks for all the comments.

I was pretty much sold on this one before knowing what it might possibly be worth.

I'm just really happy that it didn't have a higher price tag or it might not be mine.

These guns are putting ramen noodles on the dinner plate more and more all the time.

 

[Fishslayer]

In all honesty I need another .357 like I need another hole in my head. LOL!!!

Since when does "need" have anything to do with it?

At $1K I would have leaped. I call ramen noodles & PB sammiches my "Smith & Wesson diet!"

I am losing some weight.

Any prelock 627 with original grips/not much abuse is worth at least $1200. So you did great.

 

[BigBill]

Any pre lock, any finish n frame depending on condition is worth more in excellent condition.

I think the mim, loc revolvers aren't too far behind price wise.

Sometimes we see $1800/2000 for n frames on guns for sale sights. I think that's where the prices are headed on the pre loc n frames.

What are "SB" stocks??

 

[F75gunslinger]

Square butt. From the age of it, I would hazard a guess that those are the right stocks for it. Not sure if the frame is round or square, if round then the stocks may be round to square conversion stocks.

SO what was the final price if I may ask ? I would love to get something like that, it's on my want list along with a few other stainless models.

I have a 627-1 and that has a RB...

I don't mind you asking at all, $750. Plus a few hours on the road and some gas.

But seeing that I got to have lunch with two great friends I'll add the drive time and gas to the lunch so it cost me nothing to go get it.

I like the grips a lot. They look like the Hogue Monogrips on another one of my pistols. They fit me perfect and I can't wait to shoot it.

To restate the obvious

You got a great deal Kenny, an uncommon highly desirable S&W for a price that I would say was fair 15 years ago. I'd pay double that and walk away thinking I got a smoking deal. But then I am one of those .357 collector guys who has to have at least one of every variation.

Just remember me in your will. I'm a patient man. LOL

Adios,

.357s are my favorite too but I'll never have one of each.

I do have a 640-1, 60-14, 27s, a 28-2, 686s and now this 627-2.

I am going to pick up a M520 in another week or two.

Then I'm done.

I started this 627 business by searching for a 5 inch full lug with a fluted cylinder. I still don't have one and have been thinking lately they were a figment of my imagination!! Thanks for showing yours, Mokuloa!! You realize what this means??

 

[Nightowl]

Rubirance: I'm really glad you got that one! You absolutely found a deal!!

Congratulations.

Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it myself.

Its another gun that the first time I saw it I had no interest in it. The second time.............

Well you know the story.

I'm looking forward to shooting this one. As soon as my ammo for my M58 shows up I'm going to the range.
