I have a chance to buy a new in box, model 29-2, nickle plated, 6"bbl gun. It is in the wooden case, lining is perfectly new, all the accessories and paperwork are there as well. I think I can get it for around seven, is it worth it? It appears to be from 1986-7 time frame.

I have a couple of other hard to find and NIB guns, but I was actually looking for a shooter. The problem is my weakness for NIB stuff.

That's a good price. I would buy it.

Thanks for the quick reply. Hi to all by the way. I used to visit the old forum and had a s/n there.

What causes nickle to flake? Can you give the gun a little cleaning with oil or Hoppe's? It is fine just has a little dust and a few finger prints. I tend to favor blue guns, but darn if this one is not pretty.

You dont want to get any bore cleaner on the nickle.A nickle gun has been coated with copper first and bore cleaner eats copper. If there is a tiny spot any where it can get under the nickle it will eat the copper away and your nickle will flake.
I have a nickle 29-2 with a 6.5 barrel that I got a realy good deal on when I was looking for a blued gun.I put a little oil on the non nickle parts but use tree wax brand carnuba wax on mine.
The only thing I realy dislike about mine is if I am shooting in the bright sun light.The sun hits that nickel and and blurs up the sights.

LG- You have an incoming e-mail on a MDL 29.

If I found one in that condition (NIB) with all accessories and at that price I would buy it. You can clean and polish nickel with Mothers Mag, Flitz, or Semichrome and an old cotton T shirt.

Yes thats a good price. If it had the 6 1/2 barrel it would be a steal!
