So a couple of weeks ago I asked you folks about adding a model 19 to my collection.
The guy at the counter of my LGS, was also wanting the one they had in the case, and not wanting to scoop it out from under him, I bid on one on GB.
It was a pretty low bid on a nice 19-3.
Thinking someone would outbid me on that one, I put in a lowish bid on a 65-1 from the same seller.
Well, I ended up winning BOTH of them.
Now, by the time I paid shipping and transfer fees, it came up to about full market value for both, so not screaming deals, but not over paying either so I'm pretty happy about my purchases.
While waiting for them I loaded up a couple hundred 158gn LSWC loads over 6.5 gn of Bullseye.
Hoping to get out back to my range tomorrow!
Obligatory pics.
The 19-3 shows a little wear at the muzzle and front of the cylinder edge but is very clean and smooth.
The 65-1 needs a bit of oil but they are both overall very nice.
Now I can check 2 more off the list.
