Look in the “other model” filter in Smith revolvers.

Thank you for posting, but I did not see much information about the condition of the gun, and the terms of sale are as is - no returns.

I’d be tempted to roll the dice on one of these if I didn’t pick up a nice clean 64-3 local last April for $320

Most of their 64-5s are mislabeled 64-4s. I'm pretty sure that -6 is actually a -5. So I guess 2 total. Of the two actual 64-5s this one looks the most interesting: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1036247136

There was a period around when that gun was made (CDK prefix, so I think 1999 or 2000) that S&W stainless cylinders showed cylinder stop notch wear early. Cosmetic, and the notch deformation would work-harden and then behave normally. Something to do, I think, with the cylinders being heat treated on the harder side of "in-spec"? Seeing guns from that time period with little to no notch wear means if they have been fired, it's very, very little. Even less than you'd normally estimate based on "normal" stop notch wear.

This is what that stop notch would look like with ~8k on the clock (pics from one of my IDPA guns made the same year):






$275 + $75 shipping + the cost of a deep clean. (IDK, strip & dump it in an ultrasonic cleaner?) That gets you a pre-lock K-frame that can be serviced with current production parts. Though without inspection it's hard to tell how many of those current production parts (if any) would be needed to get it up to snuff.

Huge fan of those late 90s Tomkins-era guns.

I've not seen Model 64s going for that low since the last decade. If I didn't already have a couple, I'd buy one.

They look... gritty

$275 + $75 shipping + the cost of a deep clean.

Don't forget tax and transfer fee which makes it $392 for me but at least I can do the cleaning myself...

I bought one about a year ago from a different batch, and it was fine mechanically. Trigger was decent, not special. It had a set of Pachmayr's on it.

I polished the action and swapped springs, added a set of Ahrends. It's a decent practice gun without a lot of money in it.

Both my kids have 4" m64s I got sight unseen as surplus.

My daughter has the tapered barrel one I round butted and my son has a standard square butt heavy barrel one. Both with slicked up actions, bobbed hammers and vz grips
