I personally have a mod 27 that has 1000ds of rounds down the pipe and it is cleaner than that one, The only way to tell that a well cleaned 357 was fired is the flame cutting,
It wasent even cleaned well!

Yes, not lots of 5 screw stainless guns out there.

I reckon I would have to tell that feller that my Momma raised some dummies, but they wuz my sister.

Run, don't walk!!

 

[Match10]

It's been fired. ...more than a little. I would not even call it "near mint". It's not even "clean".

 

[Bob R]

A whole lot of pictures, but none of the top strap showing lack of (or not) of flame cutting.

I don't have a gunbroker account, maybe someone who does can ask him to post a pic of the top strap.

Well, it's unfired if we're talking about it using 22 lr, 25 ACP, 32 S & W, 380, 41 Magnum and so on and so on .......

Notice the quotations around "unfired" and "mint". Or is it "near mint"?

Maybe he means NIB and unfired by you?

Not NIB, not unfired, not worth $1200.00.

If two gunsmiths said it was NIB, then make the seller tell their names and talk directly to them.

If they persist, have them sign affidavits under penalties of perjury. I am willing to bet they won't do that!

I would not do business with these people.

Caveat Empror , Buyer Beware.

If you don't know the difference ,OR can't trust the seller , ,DON'T BID. Period.

Isn't it against the Forum rules to post links to live auctions on threads? Just asking.

Regards ,,AL

Because it's a friendly forum and we like to have a little fun with stuff like this. Because some "newb" may have learned a lesson here without getting burned. And Bob didn't post a "link", so no forum rules have been broken.

I would have to say it is definetly fired, not just by the factory. It looks like he has modified his listing with a comment about the "reserve" being $795.00, if you bid this high you win the gun. Personally still to high for me.

 

[Nygma]

The seller says it best.
"ABSOLUTELY STUNNING"
'WOW'!!!

 

[Grayfox]

Aside from being unfired, its also "very rare". Amazing how many "rare" guns show up on the auction sites.

No personal interest whatsoever. Why, is that your gun? If you see some outlandish claim, you wouldn't post it? And what is the motive in your post?

 

[BruceM]

Anybody looking at the cylinder face or recoil shield can tell that the gun has been shot. Not that it matters but I believe that the auction says that the gun was inspected by two other "dealers", not gunsmiths.

Anyway........

He doesn't say "gun dealers". Used car dealers? Drug dealers?

 

[BruceM]

Yah, I know. I think the adjective "reputable" was used before the word dealer also.

[jj2am44]

Stevie Wonder could have told that it was shot.

 

[Buford57]

Cut him some slack, guys. If Madonna can sing "Like a Virgin" that M60 can be LNIB.

 

[SWAT Lt.]

Pictures, especially #14, are worth a thousand "unfired" words.
