Pawn shop rescue 15-3

[Model52guy]

Making my pawn shop rounds this morning and saw this 15-3 in the case. Priced at $300+ tax. Couldn’t pass it up. I’ve now got the grips with the first coat of Tung oil. Gun is pretty pristine with a faint turn line but otherwise like new. Don’t see many 2” M15’s. Never own a M15 before. I have a couple of 38 masterpieces in 6”. Best I can tell from the SCSW is 1977. SN is 12K08XX.

$300??? Everyone on this board would have bought it!

What a deal! I've been looking for the right deal on one of those for awhile. Don't think I'll find one like that. Congratulations!

Yes, great buy at $300. I bought a two inch in that condition for a little less. . . . . .but that was about 15 years ago. Nice gun.

Wow. One heck of a deal. I'd be calling them every other day checking their inventory. You done very good.

Some folks don't like to report what they paid and others consider it rude to ask.
This thread would have been rather common had you kept the price to yourself, but you didn't and that makes this a jewel.

What a smoking deal, good for you!!

"Far out" dude, a great snag indeed! Enjoy that one.

Man.....outstanding deal! I hope you bought a lottery ticket on your way home.

Rescued?

You STOLE that revolver!

Congrats on a great deal and an even better revolver!

Beautiful little revolver - that's a Jesse James purchase. Were you wearing your mask at the time you purchased it?

 

[dr. mordo]

I'll take two.

Nice score!

$300??? Everyone on this board would have bought it!

Yep! I would'a broken my own rule and borrowed $ on a credit card for that gun at $300! Then when regret started creeping in (and it would) I'd squash it back down by fondling that beautiful 15!

I think you will LOVE shooting that snubby. Congrats!

Great purchase! IMO, model 15's are the BEST deal in high quality vintage revolvers out there. If Warren Buffett was really smart, he'd be buying up model 15's! Congrats on your new vintage revolver.

 

[Targets Guy]

Sweet deal. Great work.

 

[Eddietruett]

What a steal. Go buy some lottery tickets

Beautiful snubby!! Congrats!

I saw a snubby model 15 priced at $1050 at Cabelas yesterday. Did a double take and walked away. If it had been $300 I'd have pulled my wallet out so fast my pants would still be smoking.

 

[Narragansett]

And a snubby at that! You going to be able to sleep tonight? You stole that. Good for you. Nice find!!
