S&W mod 64-5 350.00?

[pssman308]

Thanks!I spent maybe an hour,watching tv but the scratches werent deep.Took grips off and cylinder out before polishing,the Mothers paste really worked well,turned the wash cloth black,it would be well worth your time on that 64-3 even if it took longer,just keep going over it till you are satisfied.Thats what I love about stainless pistols,if a blued gun you cant do anything with it,it is what it is.Anyway pre lock smiths are climbing in value and wont get any cheaper,they started putting the lock on them in 2000.You cant go wrong with a pre lock S&W,good trade!

Mine cleaned up pretty good. These grips will have to do until midway gets magnas in stock.

I respectfully disagree with your comments on police trade-ins. They often do exhibit excessive finish wear and dings / dents to the stocks. But usually they are in "carried a lot, shot a little" condition. From time to time, you can find one that must have been a desk drawer queen in like-new condition.


Add to this that police trade-ins were almost certainly maintained by a factory-certified armorer, not by some Bubba with only a set of K-Mart screw drivers.


Thus you usually get one that is excellent to like-new mechanically, if a little challenged in the finish department.

I dont know that much about police use I guess,cosmetically most arent too pretty.I would think the police would practice shooting their pistols on a regular basis.pssman,that looks like it cleaned up real nice!
