Pardon my lack of wheel gun knowledge but is this not a pinned barrel?

No. The pin on a pinned barrel Smith is on the other end of the barrel at the front of the frame.

Ahhh, thanks.. ill look up the serial number

The pic of zipty’s model 30 shows the pin well.

So I found it out... Per S&W database. Its a early 82 model. Real 36 ( no dash) and 82 was the first year of no pinned barrel. Its serial number J930_ _ _ (And the last 3 are numbers) What do the experts feel is a fair value tradewise as I think im just not a wheel gun guy and am going to look to trade it for another CZ 9mm

Ah man, every collection has to have a wheel gun in it! Hang on to that one, Flitz it up and put some woods on it. Nothing more iconic than a J frame.

Whoa....I think he oughta sell me that dirty old gun. I know what to do for it.

I'd make it tungsten graphite with grey nills grips. Fiber sight and carbon trigger and controls.

Being pre-lock and pre-MIM it'll bring a premium.

Please don't ceracoat that little guy. It's great on autos but just doesn't "work" on revos. ETA: It's like a really bad **** job. Just ain't natural!
