Looks like the cat is out of the bag, FBI 1076's over $2k now

[Telsole]

I have a S&W 1076 10mm that I bought at the same time the FBI
went to the 10mm. I have 3 mags and lots of ammo. Still in the box it came in new. I fired two qualification rounds for CLEET
and a few practice rounds.I sent it to S&W on the recall for the
decocking lever check and have the two little stars stamped on side. I have been told that it is a antique and should sell for more
than I paid for it new. Can anyone tell me if this is true.

I would just like to have a few of the extended mags.

Hello,

A much wiser and older collecter than me once said "You can pay too much for something that will never have any real value and you can pay too much too soon for something that will."

Personally I wish the buyer the best on their purchase. I hope they gain either personal or financial satisfaction from their purchase--or even, better, both.

The FBI 1076--or the 10mm for that matter--isn't an interest of mine, but I am interested in seeing where prices and interest goes for those who are interested in them.

Best,

Heekma

A couple of thoughts here.
There's a few states in America which are governed by nanny state politicos who've made it clear they're not waiting for DC to set the pace on civil disarmament via gun control. The clock is ticking for gun owners in states like Maryland, Conneticutt, and especially New York State to get what they want ASAP before it gets banned.

$2000 might be much for myself or someone in Texas, but I can understand why a NY gun collector would drop $2k on a gun. For him, its now or never.

Yeah, good luck, I know of only 4 for sure. Took me a long time to get/beg to purchase my two 15 rounder's! Would be kind of nice if there was a roll call on them to just get a idea of what is out there.

This thread is now three years old. I find all the condemnation of the buyer to be interesting. Especially in light of the prices folks are currently paying for .223. .22LR and any and all "assault" rifles. But hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

You should see the prices now!

There are people for whom $4K isn't really a lot of money. If that was me I might have been tempted by a pair of 1076!

Lastly, the gentleman that bought those pistols is very likely a member of this forum and probably doesn't appreciate being criticized for the way he spends HIS money. Don't be bitter because he outbid you on the auction. And you never know, those guns may hold a particular interest for him that you just don't appreciate. Now getting off my soap box.

Gentlemen (and lady, although LadyFed has not been here for a while), this thread is on its third revival and coming up on 11 years old. But feel free to wax nostalgic over the days of FBI 1076s 'only' bringing $2K.

Glad I snatched up my 1076 when I did!
