Small pawnshop find

[terrorkiller]

I got this for 120 bucks at a small pawnshop. Needed a clean do you think i got a good deal? Anyone heard of this company and is it any good?

I need to start driving around pawn shops when bored.

You can find the most interesting things at Pawn Shops. Some of the "big box" pawn shops such as Pawn America know how to price their stuff however. The last couple guns I bought from my local store I had to get them to knock off about 10%. $120 for your gun, however, is a great score.

Not familiar with Stone Mountain Arms but for a $120 you did good. I would have bought it.

Some dealer with $$$ on the brain wanted $400 at a local show for the same model revolver, so you did great!

Do you know if this prefers a certain ball or bullet? Also what caps does this use?

Good find, have 4 or 5 pawn shops around me and never think about them, maybe I need to start visiting them.

If you fond a cheap 50 caliber carbine I'll pay cost plus shipping

Probably wants a .454-.457 round ball. Number 10 caps, but they will be hard to find right now.

I'd say you got a good deal there... I have a couple of small pawn shops near me I check on a fairly regular basis... My personal best score was a pair of Pedersoli Pennsylvania rifles 1 cap ($350) and 1 fllint ($400) both in unfired condition that he picked up from an estate... Just got lucky and was in the right place at the right time because you just never know... Needless to say they are no longer unfired...

Looks like an SM or otherwise called ASM for Armi San Marco. Searches on the forum will turn up lots of information.

Stone Mountain Arms is whoever bought a bunch of these and imported them from Italy.

You got a very good deal at $120.

Well bought IMHO.

A pawnshop found hawken is what kept me here.

Someone's dad died and they didn't want to mess with the "outdated" stuff.

Good score.

Most pawn shops want to get rich on every item around me. Gun shops usually have better deals.

I’ve always been wary about pawn shop pistols. Some yo boy pops a store owner, unloads the pistol at a pawnshop. Next thing, cops are kicking in my door.
And that cant sell to a pawn shop without id… pawnshop owners are slightly above chop shop owner’s integrity.

That’s rare anymore. The pawnshops here call in all serial numbers to the police before they do any business with the customer.

I have had some pretty good dealings with pawn shops, and the best thing is most pawn shops will deal with you on a price whereas gun shops have a set price and stick to it. My experiences are just the opposite of what you have stated.

 

[CaptainVane]

I believe you, but still wary.

Looks Pietta to me, they're good guns. Yep, you done good

Pawnshops used to be a good source for used guns of any kind. Now they all seem to think or act like they have some rare "museum piece."
