Hit a triple today, that feels like a home run!!!

[lowriderfxr]

Today I met a gentleman to look at some S&Ws and a Marlin 39a. The Marlin 39a is my favorite 22 rifle so I committed to buy it and look at a couple of revolvers. When I got there I saw 2 circa 1975 or so 27-2s, and a 1968 Marlin 39a. All had the boxes, all accessories and were 99% plus. The man said "they were my uncle's and I don't think he ever shot them." They absolutely look NIB. It's not every day you see fine firearms in this condition and so complete. To find all 3 at once is mind boggling. We negotiated a price and I gladly paid him. I'm very excited with this purchase.
The 1968 price of the Marlin was $ 73.88!

Wow awesome score. A 5" 27-2 ANIB. That in itself would make me do a jig! The rest is just mind boggling. Congratulations! Right place right time.... You must be living right.... just WOW.

It's the eyes! I re-read it and still thought it said 29-2! Then I looked closer
They say that's the 1st thing to go? Or is it?

I know what you mean and I hate it. I have to get my glasses to find the other thing.
Now back to the OP's good fortune.

If it was a 5" 29-2 you would have heard me screaming all the way to Ohio !!!

The S&W gods were shining down on you... I hope to some day have that kind of day.

Wow! Great find!

Fantastic deal! My 1969 39A now lives with my son and his boys in Philadelphia. Wonderful rifle, or was prior to the Remlin era.

A triple won city championships many years ago. Stayed at third to talk to the pitcher, my old nemesis. It was better than a home run to me, as with those guns to you. Great guns!

What a find!

Holy (expletive)! Well done! Gives us all hope of finding a similar deal some day.
