I’m pretty pumped up about it.

It’s a S&W model 63 6 shot with a 4” barrel
I think it was made in 1974.
Neat thing about it is that the box, cleaning kit and all the original paperwork from when it was new is still in the box.
The kicker is that I’m about 99% sure it’s never been fired.



Look at the income range in the warranty card

Nice gun, it may be the lighting but it doesn't look like a stainless gun.

Definitely will be shooting it.

Yes, it’s a .22lr.

The man that owned them had a pretty famous BBQ restaurant here in Memphis.
There were a bunch of shotguns that sold. Almost all over unders and many were ruined.

There was a Browning Superposed Diana that was completely ruined. You could tell it used to be a beautiful gun with heavy engraving. No telling how much it would have been worth in just decent shape.

Depending on what you paid you can get solid money on gunbroker

Better not say anything to my wife about it.

The store had an STI Staccato p 9mm for $1499. I was very tempted.

Had I not just bought a new scope for me and my son and all the stuff for his new rifle I would have bought it.

I am not a new gun kinda guy, but that is something I didn’t know existed, and kinda badass.

Man, those guns are worth about $10k. Might have been worth getting it and refurbishing it.
