Two more Gander Mountain finds

[Dragon88]

I saw a couple things at the local Gander today. A nickel 10-6 4" for $229, and a 681 for $299. Both were shooter grade but pretty decent. The 10-6 was tempting but I don't have a need for it right now. Too bad the price seems ok.

I would say both prices you quote are "Buy it Now" quality. Especially the M681. It will not be there next time you go back.

I got my M10-6 for about $230 + tax four or five years ago. It should sell quickly too.

I have not seen any deals anywhere near as good as good at my local GM. But if you want a hot deal on a used Taurus...

I'd grab that 681!

 

[Dragon88]

Sadly I don't have a need for either, and I just bought a 629-1 yesterday. These will be someone else's good scores. This is the Gander in Fayetteville NC by the way.

I love this forum. I took a peek in this thread because we have a nearby Gander Mountain (and IMO, they don't give much away) and I was gonna make a smart comment.

Anyways here's a 681 - well I have a WTB on this (and other forums) for a 681 and here one sits in Gander Mtn Fayetteville NC.

Two calls later, it will be on its way to Gander Mtn Knoxville with my name on it - mint bore per sales guy - used PD gun but that's what I wanted. A very good price too.

Thank you Dragon88 for the photo.

deals at GM don't come around much in my part of the world. They ususally ask retail+.

 

[Dragon88]

So I went back to Gander and immediately saw the 681 was gone. I'm glad a forum member got it! As for the 10-6, I kept telling myself, I don't want it. I don't need it. I don't want it.... Guess what? It didn't work. The darn thing followed me home.

Ok, I admit I did want the gun. It fills in a barrel length gap in my collection, I now have 2" through 6" Smiths.

Model 36, 37, 10-6, Pre 10, and 629-1.

Dare I ask, what does S&W make in 7"?

DRAGON88.............if you ever wanna flip the S&W m-10 look me up...scott

 

[03clyde]

Nice assortment!!!

 

[tekarra]

That 10 sure is nice!

 

[Dragon88]

Taking a break from polishing, she is looking much better already. The serial on the 10-6 is 3D065XX. There is a gap at the 3Ds in SCSW, but am I correct in assuming it falls in 1978?

 

[GypsmJim]

Last year I bought an unfired pre-27 circa 1956 from my local Gander........for $299. It even came with a tooled holster. Now I stop in for a visit at least weekly....LOL.

 

[Dragon88]

She's looking better after an hour of polishing.

Plenty in 6 1/2" ... before you get to the 8 3/8" and the 10" ...

'Course you'll need a 5" too...

Boy I wish the Gander Mt stores I deal with had deals like that. There are 3 of them within 50 miles & I've NEVER seen deals like that.

If I ever see a nice looking 10-? for $229, it's mine!

Amen! I never see anything like those deals around here. Congrats

 

[Dragon88]

Gander is way overpriced on their stuff. But every once in a while, a good deal comes up. Apparently these two guns had been sitting in the back for a while, and they decided to put a few out just too see if they would sell. If they would sell?? Makes me curious as to what else is in their back room.

 

[nostraDONus]

Must be region specific. Here in Grand Rapids they would both have been $350 +. NEVER (ever) see deals at Gander around here.

Gander Mountain around here is usually way overpriced, but I did find this one a few years ago.

Model 39-2, 9mm.

At the time I saw a few of these around town in the $400.00 range. This one was tagged at $250.00.

I kept it a year or so, and traded it off. (insert headbang here).
