***To trade for this item you will need a minimum of 10 positive feedbacks or have been on the odt for 5 years or more with some level of positive feedback. If you have multiple negative feedbacks I won’t trade with you***

These are from my personal collection. I’m losing money in these so my loss is your gain. The price on these revolvers is extremely fair, you want be able to find beaters at this price anywhere else. I had plans to fix these all up and just don’t have time to do so. Mechanically all these revolvers and the one single shot pistol are mechanically functional. Most of the revolvers have an issue with the timing. You may need to either stretch the hand or install a new hand. Some of these already have sourced grips. Some of which were not cheap or easy to find. Hence the price differences. Perfect pick up for someone who likes to tinker. Yes these all need some work, but with minor repair they will be 100% functional. Then you can have some fun with them. Finish your revolver in any way you see fit. Be that a full re-bluing job or just a can of spray paint. At this price point it’s hard to beat. The only revolvers left are numbers 2, 3, and 6. See individual breakdown of each revolver. Pick up off Wade Green at the Publix or halfway for the right trade.


#2-Police Positive in 38 special. Cracked grip panel. Timing is only off on one cylinder. Rifling is good. $200

#3-Police Positive in 38 special. Nice wood oem grips for its age. Very slightly off in timing. Cylinder release is a bit sticky. It will open but needs some force. I’m sure it just needs a good cleaning. Good rifling. $230

#6-Police Positive in 38 S&W(not 38 special). Timing is off. Some small amount of rifling pitting. The pitting is not bad. I would say 95% is still perfect. $210



Trades I’m looking for:

-Surefire m600 or scout weapons light in black

-Radian Ramjet for Glock 17 gen 5 in bronze

-Aero M4E1 or better quality stripped lower reciever. I could also go for a cool looking good quality milled set.

-9mm ammo fmj cheap range ammo, 223/.556 cheap range ammo, 12 gauge 2 3/4in slugs, and 12 gauge mini shells. 9mm fmj range ammo.

-Champion 3500-4500 watt duel or tri fuel inverter generator with wheels(newish generator).

-Floor mounted drill press. Good quality press. I don’t need a commercial quality set up. Just a top notch home rig.

-Big fat $100

I have not done much trading on ODT but I’ve been on here since 2013. I have been casually looking for some old fixer uppers in order to learn a little more about gun smithing and yours look like something that might work for me. My smithing experience is limited but I have a friend that will teach me how to break these down and restore them to working order.

I am interested in #4 & #11. Would you be willing to do a package deal at $450?

Also, my next challenge is timing for a meet. I am in Powder Springs so we’re not far apart. This Thursday thru Sunday I will be in Ellijay. Next week is Thanksgiving. Hopefully we can work something out.

Thanks!

Jeff
