What's a 2" 651 worth nowadays?

[clang444]

Got an aquaintance who has been itching for my 2" M651-1 .22 mag J frame. I know these guns are rare, so I have no idea how to price it. No box or papers, gun looks like new (it is stainless steel after all).

Anyone know what a fair price for this gun would be?

Thanks,

My guess would be $550 to $650 with out the box, tools or papers.

On that well known auction site the 4" mods are selling for $600-$650, I saw one 2" 651 go for $1200 with box and paper last year. The M63s 2", which aren't nearly as rare are going for $750- $1100 on GB. In fact a "broke" M63 went for $656 two weeks ago.

The M651 2" is pretty rare, I believe it's worth at lest as much as a M63 probably 20%-30% more....

Thanks chee-to,

I knew someone would be following the price of this gun. I was thinking in the $800 price range, but maybe I am a little low.

I have a friend that wants a 651 4" and something I really want.

I just need to come up with a 4" Model 651 for the swap. I folow them on the web pretty carefully looking for a "bargain". It doesn'tmatter much where the 4" ones "Start" they invariably end up selling at or near $650. That's usually just the gun with no box or any paper work.

Given the additional rarity of the 2" Model 651 I would say that the $800 or $150 more is certainly a reasonable price point.

I tend to agree that $800-$950 would be a "reasonable" price to a friend. No telling what it would go for on a 7 day auction ??

Along the lines of this post, which I have just read, could someone give me an estimate of worth on a 651 4". I bought it new about 16 years ago, and sent it back to S&W and had a 22LR cylinder fitted to it. When I sent it back I inquired about a set of wood grips, as I didn't particularly care for the rubber grips. S&W returned the 651, the extra 22LR cylinder, and the wooden grips (with no charge for the grips). I don't have the box, and the revolver has been shot very little, (no marks, scratches, etc).
