Price check on S&W Model 10-6?

[PSU-Hunter]

I seen one the other day in a local shop. Noticed it had some rubber grips on it, so I assume it was suppose to be wood grips. It was chamb. in .38, and 4" model. They had it tagged at $300. Is that about right?

You didn't say what shape it was in but if it's in really good shape I'd say $300 to $350. If it's an average gun around 85 to 90% I'd say $250.

Fyimo is certainly in the ballpark.

I have seen decent M10s with their original stocks for under $300. But nowdays a nice one all original can go for $400 or more.

It is a common practice to sell the original stocks seperately from the gun. (To me this is despicable, but people do it all the time.) You may ask the guy what happened to the original stocks to break the ice and see if he will go any lower.

If it's in good working order, and you want it, you could do worse...

Depending upon just which set of 'rubbers' this gun has on it, it might have come from the Factory that way. But, likely the prior owner was making it fit him and I have yet to figure out what is SOOOOO wrong about that. Any set of Magna PCs - they were long past numbering the Stocks to the gun by this time - might be what was on this gun when it left the Factory but I'm not even sure a Factory Letter will tell you what it was shipped with. The Factory wasn't/isn't in the business of making Collectibles and they simply don't keep the same types of records like they did back in the days before the '68GCA because the process doesn't involve the Special Order idea like it did at one time.

My M10-6 came with pc magnas that were stamped with a serial number. I can't say "numbered to the gun" because the numbers match except for the last digit. On the revolver the last digit is "8" and on the stocks it is "3".

My guess is that either at the factory or the agency that initially bought my revovler, someone's bifocals weren't up to the task of differentiating a deeply struck "3" from an "8". Or maybe it was 4 o'clock on Friday ...

Numbering generally went out with the incoming of Model numbers in about '58. I have known some Agencies to number stocks to Department 'Issue' guns just to make sure their Officers turned in the right set of stocks for the right gun that they were issued but the Factory had no reason to number stocks because the "process" had changed.

I saw a six inch 10 with box and papers at the lake for $600! A couple of years ago I paid $200 for the same gun...prices have gone up, but that is just plain greed.

I just purchased a Model 10-6 and the stocks are number to the gun exactly. If they stopped in 58 it must be rare. Mike
