??? M 36 value

[gunjunky]

I am NOT a revolver expert so thought I would seek some advice from all of you.

I am looking for a 5 shot .38 from S&W and found a M36 in a local pawn shop today. The little gun has seen better days but has some caracter and I don't mind that. What I need to know is what is the 36 value range is. This gun is probably 70% and the asking price is $275.

Thanks

Seems about right, as long as it's not in too bad of shape. If lockup is not tight then I would pass on it. To check this, make sure gun is unloaded..close cylinder, cock hammer and try to move cylinder from side to side for each of the 5 chambers. Should be the slightest of movement, any more and I would pass. Hope this helps.

In my opinion, that is way too high for a 70% revolver. I picked up a nice square butt 36 about two months ago roughly 90% for $250.

I really like the pinned ones as they seem to have the best trigger pull. The price seems about right.

Thanks,

After hearing of the good luck Dale and Micky have had I think I will let this one pass.

Will have to keep looking.
