Model 58

[JOBA]

A local old school gun shop has a good looking Model 58 for sale for $650. There is no box or tool but three boxes of ammo. Fair price?

It's tough to find them any cheaper. If you have the urge and the cash, go for it.

IMO it's more than fair. I paid $750 for mine, similar condition and not one round of ammo or nothing (ok it did come with an extra set of grips - elk stag).

If there is nothing wrong with it.

And there does not appear to be. I would jump on it in a heart beat. And I have a nice clean one already. They are somewhat rare and they most assuredly do have a bit of a following. Great shooters in general and you can always get your money back out of it if you decide that it is not something that you want to hang on to.

It won't last long at that price.......

I'd be at the door waiting for them to open to make the purchase. Those original PC, modified magnas are hard to find and very expensive when you do. Good luck, you won't be disappointed.

That is a 'Buy it right dang NOW' kind of price if it checks out mechanically and the other sides looks as good.

Good luck!

It's a very good price for you especially with ammo included. I didn't particularly like the looks of the side plate screws but other than that looks to have been carried a lot and shot little.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! That price is outrageous! Please PM me the stores's number and I will set the seller straight for you.

 

[arjay]

That's a very fair price without the ammo

 

[Art Doc]

Great price. Be aware those stocks are unique to the 58 (and 520) and most 58s are seen missing the original correct stocks. Don't swap those away.

Hope you grab it today. It won't be there to long.

Simple answer , I would of already brought it home , and I already have one . Regards, Paul

Buy it! Your place in the "58 club" awaits you.

Like some other S&Ws, when the 58s (and 57s) were in production, they were far from popular. I don't know about the stainless guns but would guess they weren't big sellers either.

I recall putting a friend's 57 with accessories on my gun show table thirty or so years ago. I don't know if anyone even looked at it over the course of a weekend.

I haven't checked to see how many .41s were made, but sounds like these would be good guns to hang onto nowadays.

 

[EarlB]

Amen to that...mine has 520 stocks lmao...somewhere out there is a 520 with my darn stocks most likely (not my 520, I checked)

Great price. Be aware those stocks are unique to the 58 (and 520) and most 58s are seen missing the original correct stocks. Don't swap those away.

 

[Jack Flash]

That shop has old school prices too. Oh yeah, buy it.

 

[CelticSire]

Grips: $150. Ammo: $125-$150. Makes the gun about $350 to $380. When are you going to find another Model 58 for less than $400?
