Monday on my way to work I stopped at a little Mom and Pop resale shop here in town, they do mostly estate sales, cleanout's, exc..

Sometimes they have gun's that they pick up for sale.. but they are not "gun people".. Mostly junk stuff, single shot shotguns, BB gun's and sometimes something good...

This was a something good... went in spotted a S&W in the case marked as a model 19... Stuck cylinder, for parts only..

BUT......


IT ain't no 19....


A 27-2 with a 3-1/2 barrel and check out the price.. Ended up being $165.00 out the door..
the "stuck cylinder" was fixed as soon as I got home by tighten the ejector rod..
and yes I also bought a lottery ticket too.....

it's the same shop where I picked up a 1890 Winchester three years ago for 50 bucks.. :-)
 
hope you took the owners out for dinner. that was robbery. I never get deals like that.
 
If it had been me finding and purchasing that, I would have been hit by a falling satellite on the way back to the car. Congrats man!
 
That was the one I was looking for.
Great find.
Glad you fixed it so easily.

My luck has been good also.
I saved $800+ on an armslist deal by being cautious.

It was a scam.

That's beautiful! And if I were you I'd stop by there at least once a week!
 
Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you will find.

Now if I were you, since you have your foot in the door with them I'd go back and give them another $100. To say thank you. Then give them your phone number incase they get anymore like this one. The $100 Bill is an investment into future dealings with them. Trust me it will come back ten fold.

I passed by a local gun shop in a small town for 20years twice a day and never stopped in. One day I finally stopped. I just missed the dad passing away and his collection of older henry rifles were sold off. Then left in the rack was a '95 Chilean 7mm mauser and a professionally built sportswriters Russian m59 mosin. My point is don't drive past any mom and pop gun shops.
 
WOW, you gotta be kiddin me!!!!!! :)

Awesome Score!!!
