FS: Bear Medicine - $1150

[BrentD]

___________________________________
I am looking to sell my bear medicine, aka Smith and Wesson 629 (44 Mag) Mountain Pistol. This is the slimmer, lighter, and sexier sister to the regular Model 29 and 629 pistols. It is stainless, with a 4" barrel. The condition is very good to excellent. I have fired it only 200 times at most. The guy before me, I can't say, but does not show much wear at all.

It comes with the factory case and papers. Somewhere, I may have a belt holster for it. I will throw that in, if I can find it.

I am looking for $1150 plus shipping, including FFLs on both ends as I understand it, now that UPS and FedEx are out of the gun freight business. 1-wk return privileges.

There are also two boxes of ammo (50 factory, 50 reloads) that we could make a deal for, if you are interested.

Ugliest one in the bunch but had one years ago, great carry revolvers.
Is it state by state if you can ship direct to the buyer? Just curious as I wouldn't do it that way regardless; long or handgun.

Well, to be honest I will have to research it. It has to go to an FFL in the buyer's state (unless it's an Iowan). To ship it, I think it will have to go USPS, and that will require an FFL on my end (USPS) rules.

A state X citizen to state X citizen can sell/buy without ffl under fed law, but many states add extra rules. Such as no in state direct, no handguns, no “scary black guns, etc without FFL in the middle.

Cross state seller must send to buyer’s FFL - no direct sale allowed. So, it is just as easy to do FFL to FFL.

For those new to HT, @BrentD knows how to care for his guns and is a trusted seller.

Thanks guy.

I never "medicated" a bear with this gun, so it's still a virgin in that department.

And that is the hope for all bear pistols.

Save it and hunt some pheasants up by Choteau, Mt.
Nice piece @BrentD

The buyer should know that the funds from this gun will be used to buy yet another English double shotgun (2" chambers this time). So, your funds will go to a good cause

Interstate transfers require FFL. Intrastate transfers vary state by state but I wouldn't sell in state without being able to at least check an ID as an individual.

Don't always align with his sentiments, but feel that statement is likely true.

I'm not worried about intrastate. Out of state, I know the rules per se, but not how to work with them now that FedEx and UPS are out of the business.

Best bet is to ship through an ffl but there will be an added cost for their involvement.
USPS won't ship handguns from an individual either. They're ok with long guns.

Yup. I haven't shipped out of state with a pistol since the FedEx, UPS change. I'm up to date otherwise I think. I sold some pistols to an FBI agent in TX a few years ago. Learned a lot (do not trust an FBI agent).

In state, so long as I have no reason to think you are a bad guy, the state is very happy with me selling to another resident. But not many Iowan's need bear medicine.

Wish I had the funds, and really wish I knew how to justify it to momma… otherwise I’d be in this like a duck on a June bug.

.44s are just fun!

Now there we differ. That thing is brutal! Only gun that ever gave me a headache (besides sitting next to someone's .338 Lapua with muzzlebrake.

You should try it’s much lighter brother, the 329 PD.

It’ll punish you if your not paying attention, but fun when your in the right mood.

I think I'm too delicate for that. You know us English gun lovers can't take that kind of recoil....

My dad has one of those. It's ported now.

 

[BrentD]

Well, this isn't moving.

How about $1150 plus shipping costs?
