M29-2 4" Value?

[Drm50]

I was going to have a 6" barrel put on this gun, by S&W. You guys talked me out of it. Since I've had several offers. I need to know what it's worth and what
a M29-2 6" is worth. This one is NIB, has slight line from handling, liner in case has small crack. Papers are under liner.

$950.00 Low
$1150.00 High

If you shop around you can find a 29-2 6" around 750.00-850.00

I think your gun would bring 1300+ on gunbroker.

950 I would take it right now

29-2

M294 don't have any experience with online sales. In fact just
got Ipad a few months ago at grandkids insistence, they bought
it. I'm not really looking to sell gun, it don't eat very much. I've
got $1000 offers left and crooked. I thank you for info. I figure
I can parlay gun into 6" and some boot. In my neck of woods
nobody wants short barrels, you can't sell a shotgun unless it's
full- choke. I think we have more "air" around and between stuff
than guys who are into short barreled stuff.

Thanks

Looks like my 4" 29-2 when I first bought it from Little Biff's Gun Room in Cosmosdale, KY back in the '80s. The liner has since disentegrated, but I still have the box and tools. Traded the targets (which I hate) for some magnas years ago. It's actually got Pachmayrs on it now, since they fit my hand better than anything besides old service grips from an M1917.

4" 29-2s were always cheaper back in the day. Somebody'd see "Dirty Harry", go looking for a 6" which they couldn't find, then pick up the first 4" they saw, along with a box of the hottest ammunition they could find. A few days to a few weeks later, the same gun would be back in the same store, along with a partial box of ammunition.

I've rarely fired anything but Specials through mine, other than when I first bought it and to diagnose a manufacturing defect in the forcing cone. I went though a bunch of heartache to get that fixed, but it's highly accurate, no longer spits, and is very controllable with Specials, even the Speer 200gr. Gold Dot JHPs.
