BigDave Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 610 on GunBroker.com Is this the real market for the 5" guns, or is this an odball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikings501 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I don't think it's because of it being a 5 inch gun, I think it's because 610's have skyrocketed lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Maybe I should sell my 5" 610!! Naa, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Yeah, it's for real. Between the collectors and the shooters, the 610s (especially the 5") are awfully high-priced these days. Bet that one goes up even more over the next six hours.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 That's why I hate to ever sell a gun. Within six months the collectors finally swoop in and run the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcambre Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Maybe we all should print it out and send it to S&W. Think they could figure it out? Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I picked one up last month See this And I was thrilled! It is on the CA DOJ approved, has to be a 610-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wow.. wonder what my factory 3" 610 would bring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Here is another one from about 6 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) Wow.. wonder what my factory 3" 610 would bring... Probably about the same price. The 3" 610 and the 5" 610 with fluted cylinder are very collectible. In regards to the 3", you can't even buy a S&W produced 3" barrel. (I tried) Unfortunately, this is driving the prices out of sight for those that wish to shoot.

pmd Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) For those looking - here's a 610 w/6.5" barrel and fluted cylinder (looks fluted - bad picture) for under $800 (has it listed for both $795 and $725) http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976736925.htm Edited June 12, 2006 by pmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoepop Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I 'thought' I was pretty much up to speed on 610 variations. This is the first I have seen or heard of a 6 1/2" fluted cylinder. A cylinder or barrel change maybe, or did S&W make such a configuration for sale to the general public ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cylinder or barrel change maybe, or did S&W make such a configuration for sale to the general public ? The first run of 610's were 5 inch an 6.5 inch barreled, a whole lot less 5 inch guns were produced (I think somebody said 300 ?). They had the old hammer mtd firing pins, non-MIM parts, AND ! ! ! a bigger head space (but I'm only complaining ) The newer 610's have the hunter style cylinders and have 3, 4 and 6.5 inch long barrels. And the prices are CRAZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoepop Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thank you Dave. I never had a 6 1/2 inch first run fluted in my shop and have never seen or heard of one until now so I'm obviously not up to speed on 610 variants and still learning. Strange thing, last week I had 3, 5" fluted 610's in my shop, 2 were customers and one is mine. Of the two customer 610's one was local the other 60 miles from my shop. It was 5" 610 week for some reason. I did own a 6 1/2" with a hunter cylinder but thought it to heavy. I sold it to a gentleman in AZ a few years ago and he kicked my butt with it in an AZ USPSA match, right Rudy I also had a Lew Horton commissioned 3" that I 'gave' away a year or so ago. Oh well.

If any of those 5 inch 610's end up back in your shop on consignment give me hollar It is insane what they are getting for 610's these days and it makes you wonder if S&W see's what's going on. You never hear of 610's sitting around in warehouses ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Wow this thread made me feel good. I picked up a S&W 610 no dashes on the model number. 6.5 inch barrel fluted cylinder, fixed firing pin, last September for only $520. It was in very nice condition with on a little bit of finish scuffs/holster wear. It has been a great shooter and I have had a lot of fun in the revolver division with it. Did not realize they were suddenly going for so much. mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberkid Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Great deal on a 610 in the classified section, just in case anyone might be looking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
