another .38 - Should i buy it??
Just found this today - needed more info before i decide to buy -
A) .38 Special / blued
B) Don't have a measuring tape but think its about a 2-incher
C) flat grip/square has wood grips with round S&W insert at top of grip - not
sure of the original color of the insert - might have been gold
D) 5 shots
E) Fixed Sights
F) 637320
G) MOD.36 (says MOD. over the number 36)
only two screws on right side of frame
Gun appears to be in decent shape but it has visible circles(shapes from rounds in cylander) on the back of the frame(around the firing pin hole - the imprints are around the firing pin hole and also two circles undernieth it showing where the other rounds in the cylander left marks during firing) - I have been told to shy away from guns that have these marks as it means the gun has been fired alot and might not be safe anymore . I am not a revolver expert so I need to know if it is safe to use the gun. Cylander seems tight enough and timing seems ok. The possible age and marks from the rounds concearn me.
Also - it does not have square cylander latch.
Should i buy this?? Is $300 too much??
Thank you in advance for any help,
