Score ! 617 No Dash

[angels-zero]

Scored this over the weekend for a mere $350 ! Been looking for a while and this was on consignment at a LGS. I made my offer and he accepted. Original Combats , 4" bbl , 6 round sq. butt. Was wondering if anyone could help me out with dating this one. S/N BEF2803. I'm guessing 1990 or so? Anyway, she plays nicely with my 4" 66-1

Probably a late 1989 shipped gun, you lucky dog you .

Were you wearing a mask? Great looking 617. Just the one I am looking for to go with my 8 3/8.

Did you almost break your arm getting your wallet out

I love seeing great deals, and that with the grips, was the steal of the day for sure!
Probably worth at least double that.

steal of the week

congrats! I can't imagine whats gonna happen when the owner realizes he could have easily gotten twice that much $.

Great deal, these days that's probably a $900 gun.

Frank and Jessie would be proud.

Great score.......go back in a week and see if he throws out something else interesting.

Easily. A 6" no dash w. box recently went for just under that much

This kid obviously did not know what he had. According to the clerk, he inherited it from his grandfather and was just looking for some quick cash. He was only asking $389 and I would have snatched it up for that price, but the clerk said, "make an offer and I will call him." So I said $350 and if he balks at that I would take it for the asking price. Still can't believe it.

Very sad, but you know this happens frequently.

$350? I hate you


seriously though, NICE score!

I know the op just feels terrible.

 

[Sparrowbird]

I'd think the store would have been happy to buy it for that price and then score a $300.00 mark up. Good for you!

Not around me it doesn't. Can't decide if I'm green with envy or just jealous. (smile)

The guns you never sell are the first one you ever owned and any that belonged to someone that you thought highly of. If this kid was not a gun guy, he should have asked the other family members first to see if it could be kept in the family.

Well, like I said, she get's along fine with my 66-1. Grandpa can rest assured she found a good home.

Lookie what I found

Found this in the bin...hmmm. Would love a brass bead FS but this may just do. I knew I was hoarding for a reason.
