Show us your deal of the week - post some pics and show it off, whatever it is!

I'll start. I just picked up this mid-80's Colt Agent Lightweight Agent from a local hardware store. It's one of the rough finished parkerized versions that Colt put out to hit a lower price point and attract new buyers. Anyway, the store had it marked $249.99 but dropped it 10% when pressed and I ended up paying $236.24 after taxes. No box or anything but it looks like it was never fired, until yesterday anyway. I ran a box through it and it shoots great, plenty accurate and easy to handle. Didn't need another snubby but there's no way I was passing it up for that price!

Thanks for moving this s&wchad, one too many Sunday afternoon cocktails, I guess!

You happened to ask this on the rare week when I did get a deal the other day. I've already written this one up but it's a 1978 27-2 with a 3 1/2" barrel that I got for $500. These are very scarce in Ca. and it's illegal to buy one from out of state.
BTW. That's a phonomenal price you got that Colt for. It's just a Colt Detective Special in tank top and cutoffs. I've always liked those and they practically just gave it to you.

Possible 1600's Bulge kettle from Glasgow. Found in Soon Maine. These are called Gypsy kettles. This one is small, just one gallon. Forty Dollars...

Hey, you didn't say it had to be a gun....

Long time ago I had one just like this one. It was stolen out of my truck (window smashed out) in downtown Fort Worth. Had the hardest time trying to get the police to even take a report. Wish I still had that pistol. Very nice example you have there and you got it at a bargin price. Have fun shooting her.

Ha! I've been eyeing that one in your other post, that was a wicked good deal!! I would have hurt myself going for my wallet if I'd come across it.

Brunswick Stew !

I can't show mine. Wife confsicated it and said it was my Christmas present and hid it. A 1943 Colt-made, martially marked 1911, carried by a career officer. The owner of the gunshop is a friend and he took a history of all the battles it was carried in. I gotta go see him and get it (He wasn't at the shop). When I walked in, three sales clerks ran over to tell me about it.

Yesterday was a very good day for me and my LGS. Ordered a Rossi Ranch Hand in .44 mag, and a Bushmaster A3/M4 Type Carbine AR in 6.8. Here is what they will look like when they arrive.

Nickel .357 Magnum..
It was a good day at the gun show..

Worked an even swap for an " Extra" .38 Spl. 4" Diamondback I had.. for this 1954/55 .357 Magnum 3 1/2" Nickel..

The Smith needed a LOT of attention.. as the innards were packed with grease ( Moly B ) I think.. It had been re-nickeled by the factory in 1968..

Excellent,correct grips but not numbered, a couple of small pin.. head size blems in the finish.

Shooter no doubt.. exactly what I was looking for..

Well to make a long story short... swapped him even for the Pre 27..

Four hours later cleaning.. three runs through the Ultra-Sonic, after DE-greasing and a good Hot Ultra-Sonic water displacing oil bath, re-assembled, a little Flitz.. and a good coat of Ren-Wax.... and all was well.

I may just take the Magnas off.. I know I got a set of Targets and a set of COKES sitting in the safe It would cover up the " Grip Line " on the side plates..

I bought a IBM M1 Carbine, $300. Its not perfect but its far from junk. Ive wanted one for a looong time but they were just to expensive to justify to me.

No time to take photos yet, but I just aqquired a Marlin 1895 Cowboy in .45 Colt. A 99% gun in the box. I have been looking for one for a month or more. A fellow S&W Forum member helped me out.

Man, you guys have been holding out! Nobody ever mentions most of these treasures. Love the nickel 27, I'm dying to see pics of the 1911, and the pre-14 is definitely a smokin' deal at $400. This is great stuff, we need to keep this thread going!

Gizamo! When's that brunswick stew going to be ready? You're somewhere out my way aren't you?

 

[gizamo]

Columbus Day weeken, at the Ancient Ones Vous in Canton. I will be there for four days...

Will just keep adding to the pot, each day.

It must have been the weekend for .45Colt lever guns. I picked up an 1894 in .45Colt at Cabelas. I had a 10% off coupon so it was under $500 before tax.

Partial box of Fuente 858 Sungrown cigars, about $4.40 a stick including taxes.

I bought a pair of new original factory mufflers for my Triumph motorcycle. From a Triumph dealer they are about $420 each. I paid $100 plus $22 for shipping. They may not be a gun, but it saves me money to buy another gun.

 

[gjamison]
