Sitting in the display case was a pretty good looking S&W Mod 10 with a four inch heavy barrel priced at $249.99. It had a set of Goodyears on it.
Once I had it in my hand I could see that it had been reblued, but $249.99 was still a great price.
Now if you know me, buying guns is like a game to me. I look for something below market value and then try to get it for less.
I start to talk with the guy and he says to make him an offer. So i thll him I'll give him $200 out the door for it. He said he would check. He then pulled it up on the computer and got a sad look on his face. He said that whoever made the lown on the gun had put to much in it. He let me look at the screen and I could see that he had $240 in the gun.
I told him that was a little more then I wanted to pay and handed the gun bask to him. He then said that he would be willing to take a $10 loss to move the gun and would let me have it for $230. Well I bought the gun.
When I got Lab I let my friend that is a S&W Armor have a look at it. He said it was in pretty good shape and that I should be ashame for paying so little for the gun.
He said that it needed a good cleaning and a minor adjustment to tighten up the cylinder and If I bring it to him next week he would take care of in.
I don't much care for rubber grips so when I got home I pulled out an old set of Smith wood grips from my grip box. Now all I need to do is find a grip screw.
