Offered a Model 16 .32 H&R Mag

[toad67]

I have a Model 16-4 from 1972 and its mint with the box. I paid more than the asking price for yours. Hopefully you purchased it.
The K32 have grown on me, I have three pre-16, one 16 ND, one of each 16-2, 16-3 and 16-4. The popular barrel size is 6" as all are 6" except for one Pre that is a 4" and the 16-4 which is my 8 3/8".

I thought that the -4's came out in the late 80's, or close to that time.

Hey toad67,


Yes sorry about that, I didn't clarify. I have one of the ten 4" barrels that were a special order. It shipped 3/14/1949 K67160. I had previously shared pictures of it on another thread but here they are again.

This is the gun S&W should make, a 16-5! ! !

Half under lug please!

That's nice, could you give a little more info on that short run of 4" guns? I just picked up my first 32, a 16-4, 6" last week.

I don't believe the 8 3/8" is as popular or valuable as the 6", but would be close and $1600 is what I sold my 6" for about a year ago. And, I kind of regret selling it, but I still have a 432PD I carry and shoot from time to time.

I'll trade my 6" for the 8 & 3/8" gun.

Yes it was a custom order place for ten 4" K32. They are what I believe to be the only 4" K32 guns produced during that time frame. Attached is the Letter of Authenticity and the shipping invoice.
