I�ve got the opportunity to buy a rifle I have wanted for years and need some funding! I know some of you will be going fishing and hiking in bear country and will really appreciate this revolver. It is a Smith & Wesson M329 Alaskan Backpacker IV Talo Exclusive. It�s has a Scandium Alloy Frame , Stainless Cylinder, 2.5 in Barrel, Gold Bead front sight with V-notch rear. It is suppose to be �New In Box� but I can see evidence that it has been fired. Whether that is from S&W proofing the gun, or someone sneaking it to range from the gun shop, I don�t know. It was a display gun at the shop, and has probably been handled by folks with little respect for another man�s property, So to be fair in my description, lets call it �Almost new in the box�. I don�t think anyone will be disappointed with that. Asking price is $795.00 and I will pay up to $25 of the shipping cost. FFL to FFL. I�ve never sold a gun this way before, so please be patient with me. ![[Linked Image]](http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/Allen917_bucket/IMG_0082.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/Allen917_bucket/IMG_0075.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/Allen917_bucket/IMG_0078.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/Allen917_bucket/IMG_0079.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab33/Allen917_bucket/IMG_0077.jpg) I guess the first I'll Take It, will get it, if money and shipping can be arranged. Thanks, Allen

Opps, forgot to mention that it is a 44 Mag, but I am figuring you probably already knew that.

I carried a all stainless steel 3" 629 for 4 years guiding bears. Just picked up a month ago a 329PD 4". I would have been all over this one if I didn't just get the 329PD. Good luck in selling it, somebody will be very happy with it on there hip. Craig

Travis Thanks for the bump! The price is about the best I could do, hoping for a quick sale. There is a special rifle out there with my name on it, waiting to be ransomed from its current cruel captor. Need funds!

Bump for a good deal that someone should take before I do. Tempting for sure, especially when the reports are bears are emerging in Montana . . .

If the thought of shooting this 329 scares you, I could substitute a S&W Model 27 Classic for the same money.

Fire it, not so much. It a lot easier to guide bears,they never complain about the weather,bugs ect. ect... Just keep the bait barrel full and there happy. And they tip the same....leave you sh_t

Anybody talked to Allen? The last date before BC9696 posted today was a year ago.
