S&W 65-4

[nlpro]

I met a guy and the local range thats moving and selling off some of his guns , long story short he has a S&W 65-4 K frame new in box and is asking about $300 for it .my wife wants it but im wondering if thats a good price and i do not see that model of the approved list so is it legal to buy , maybe i just missed it on the list . im still a new californian so i thought i should check i dont want to get in trouble.


thanks

Great price for a great gun. The M65 was the first gun I ever owned. Most of those K-frames were Police guns.

I would jump on that deal!

If the gun is in good condition then that is a good price. They sell for around $400

What else does he want to sell?

[Heatseeker]

If it's not on the approved handgun list you are still able to do PPT on it. As I understand it, the list only applies to new purchases and out of state transfers.

If it were me, I'd buy it. It sounds like a decent price, especially for NIB condition.

At that price, pick up everything - You'll get your funds back in the for sale later. Have fun.

if you don't buy it, please put me i touch with him.....that is a really great price. i'm just back from the range today firing for the first time the new-to-me model 19 i picked up in june. as a female revolver shooter, i can say that the k-frame is great for a woman's hand.

I've been looking for a M65 like that for a long while (post buried in the WTB section somewhere); if you're in the Bay Area and pass on the deal, throw me a line.

$300 NIB for that is a really great deal, you should jump on it. I wouldn't think twice about it myself.

Just use 38 Specials - cheaper and easier on your wrist, and less damaging to the gun. 357 ammo "cuts" the top strap by the forcing cone and is generally more punishing; unless you *really* need the power of a 357 round, save wear & tear on your new toy (and money in your pocket) and just shoot 38 out of it. You can get a 500rd can of Miwall 38 reload at the gun shows for less than $100.

I have one 20rd box of premium 357 defense ammo (thanks Ivan!) and thousands of 38; never shoot 357 ammo at all out of any of the 357 revolvers.

Buy it. Or give me the guy's name and number and I'll buy it...

Was the Krag not sporterized and in decent shape? If so it is worth much more. I got mine for $40 OTD this year (long story) somewhat worn though and I can't tell if has had the fore end cut or it came that way. I think it is a NRA carbine.

How did I know that rivvie would chime in quickly. He's probably on the phone, sitting on his bike revving it up just in case op passes deal over. Great price!
