Fast advice needed: S&W Model 63 for $300- buy it?

[Chuck Dye]

The S&W Model 63 six shot 22. LR has a 4 inch barrel, target hammer, target sights, recessed chambers, pinned barrel, and is clean, tight, and appears little used. Is $300 a good, bad, or indifferent price for such a revolver?


Edit to add:

Thanks for the help folks, the M63 is now mine.

I would offer $285.00 and ask for a couple of boxes of 22s. I would put it around $275.0 in 98% condition.

I'd grab it. The 63 is a real sweet shooting .22. I bought mine in 1980. I've taught several people how to shoot using that little .22. Everybody should have atleast one good .22 revolver.

buy it and you won't be sorry.

$300 is a fair price for a model 63.

Search the internet and you'll find that 63's are going for well over blue book these days. Seems to be a renewed interest in an all steel J frame with normal sights. Something the 317 has fallen short of. FWIW, $350-$450 is not uncommon for a mint one. It's hard to judge yours without a better condition description. Still, unless it's really beat, I doubt it sits there too long.
