So /k/, I got a new job at a palm tree farm, and met an old dude named "Ol'School" Now, Ol'School is selling me a revolver for 150$, but heres the snag:

>He calls it a "glawk"
>Its a revolver
>It has a long barrel
>It has a square shaped barrel

Any ideas on what kind of revolver it is? Keep in mind this brother is like 56.
>>
>>30300032
Oh! forgot to mention its chambered in .38

How do you know it's actually a .38 revolver if the dude thinks it's a "glawk"?
>>
>>30300076
I dont, but he said it was a .38


I have no idea what im in for.
>>
>>30300101
You're probably in for a murder weapon and or a weapon that breaks some type of law. Enjoy prison!
>>
>>30300101
odds are you are being sold a turn of the century s&w .38. if it works that's an ok price, keep in mind it may be .38 short and weak not special.

did you get a look at it?
>>
>>30300032
Okay, dont be dumb
Ask for his name, DOB, and Driver's License number.
Ask for the serial number on the gun.
Go to your police station, ask them to run the seller, and the gun.
If he's not willing, leave. If he comes up as a felon, don't buy it. If the gun came up as a weapon, don't buy it.
>>
>>30300123
Perhaps. He said its been fired before.

>>30300182
Nope, frankly im buying it because i want another gun and the guy could use the money


>>30300188
I trust him enough

With any luck its a Dan Wesson, maybe even a PPC!
>>
>>30300225
Im definitely gonna post when i buy it Friday.
>>
>>30300101
Everything he has said so far you believe to be wrong, so why do you assume he's correct about what it's chambered in?
It could very well be a 380 glock
>>
>>30300188
>If the gun comes up as a weapon. Dont buy it
What
>>
>>30300236
A .380 glock for 150$ is a good steal.
>>
>>30300209
that's an okay price for a handgun that goes bang, as long as the serial number hasn't been filed off there would be nothing illegal about you buying it. *as long as private handgun sales are legal in your area.

Probably an old H&R. $150 is about what they're worth assuming it works. If it doesn't it's not worth anything because most gunsmiths won't touch the things, they're a right bitch to work on.
>>
>>30300244
I think he meant that if the gun comes up at all then its hot. I did that before buying a hi point carbine in 9mm. As long as the gun doesn't come up period you're good to go.

This guy Ol'School, old black dude, served in the U.S Army during Desert Storm, got a few tattoos on him as well as a burn scar on his left pectoral.

OP here, if its a Python ill definitely be posting about it


>>30300821
Looks almost exactly as described

Ol'School sounds like a fun guy

He really is a good dude I work with him and another guy named Lester out at a palm tree farm in South Carolina.

Hey, I was just there! Kept whacking my head inside the Clamagore.
>>
>>30301322
Patriots point fucking rules. The Clamagore is in a bad state though.
>>
>>30301409
It's really worse for wear. Interestingly enough my dad has a lathe that's the same brand as the one aboard the Clamagore.

best advice OP, is to not buy it
maybe I'm wrong, I probably am, but risk is hardly worth the reward I think.

Just make sure you get a bill of sale OP

You read teh thread faggot, Op works, like a fucking adult, and I doubt he has a <5 hour day. Also you know,
>Revolver
>Agreed upon price of 150$
>Chambered in .38

Also its summer and some 124 year olds idea of a funny joke is posing as OP saying its a bb gun. Stop being a faggot and get some goddam context.

No bruh, it is the OP, the guy Ol'School thought he had a real gun but it was just a BB gun, a high end one at that. He realized his fuckup and I traded him a flatcap he really liked for it.

Sounds like an Enfield Revolver to me OP.
Does this look anything like the gun?
>>
>>30311896
Well, in case it is, those are sold pretty cheap everywhere, they are in a weak cartridge (for a revolver). Also, check out the hammer, it its sawn off it's DAO, which I guess is interesting to shoot but its only real advantage is that the hammer doesnt snag on clothes that much and pretty much sucks otherwise. So that price makes sense. I saw some around 4200 Czk here, which is like 200 bucks, maybe less in a reputable store.
