Going price 66-2

[AWA]

What is the going price for a 66-2, 4 inch barrel, original grips?

I'd say $600 to $800 depending on condition, box, papers, etc. it's not unheard of to find one for less than $600, but if I did I'd likely jump on it.

I bought one from my local shop earlier this year with box and all tools for $599. It's mint and looks just like yours.

I say this every time a thread like this one comes along but it is still true. Guns like the S&W Model 66, if in nice condition, will only become more expensive as time passes. Remember, they are no longer made in that form and every month, there are fewer of them that are both in very good condition AND available to be purchased while the number of potential buyers who have learned about those older Smith & Wessons is on the rise. It is a diminishing supply with an increasing demand.

So far, you've seen what just two people feel is a fair price for that gun. I own two Model 66-2s, a four-inch like that one but with target trigger and hammer and a trigger stop, a feature that some but not many had, and a six-inch with target trigger and hammer. I paid less than $500 for each one about five years ago so they have appreciated roughly 20% in that short amount of time.

Whatever you pay for that gun today will seem quite reasonable before long!

I picked up the one in the following thread for under $500 this past August-gun and original grips, no box etc. It was mildly dirty but didn't appear to have been shot much, mechanically like new. Blind squirrel found a nut .

The value of the model 66 generally drops off after the dash one, unless it's a three inch model. They go for stupid prices. Pinned and recessed models are the darlings of the model 66 series. A 4" model dash two in nice condition would be a gun $500 at most, to me. Maybe $50 more with the box, etc. Good luck selling it.
