Buddy has his m&p core w/rmr up for sale, guy offered a python for it. Wanting to get a rough idea of what it's worth
Guy said it's from the 70's, 6" barrel. Something about his dad competing with it so it has the different sights and some trigger work. It's a .357 Thanks in advance Pics we got so far but I asked for more

Assuming good bore, no pitting and perfect mechanical condition, it would range between $700 and $1000 via online auction. Even with the wear to the blueing.

$800-850 for trade purposes, as far as the bluing wear, holster wear on the muzzle, nothing that a trip back to Colt can't fix.
Colt might even have the original rear sight for it. |

ok thanks
In Cali he can get $1100+ for the core so was wanting something close to that as far as trade. I've always liked them so i'd probably do it and have it blued to keep, but he's looking to resell it |

I'd check lockup very carefully considering it was used in competition. [I'd check over a S&W used in competition also.]

If your buddy decided to do the trade make sure he follows this advice first.

One in worse condtion sold recently for $1,632. The one here is missing the original grips and the original rear sight, deduct $250 to 350 for replacing that. The condition of the screws let me wonder about the quality of the trigger job but then, that is me. I have never found the eyerelief to work on a "ghostring" sight for a handgun, too. You can probably get $20 for the Ace trigger shoe.

Pythons were so smooth because there was so much polishing and fitting they came from the factory almost worn out. I'd place money its way out of time |

I may be late to the party, but I just wanted to second several of the comments here, remember it's been shot in competition, which probably means it needs a rebuild to ensure the timing is good. Just by looking at it my guess would be around $700-$800.
If he shot it in competition, he should have a bunch of speedloaders and pouches he can throw in with the trade if you are still interested. I bought a S&W 25 in 45acp that had been used in competition, gun looked good in the pics, shoots okay, but definitely needs to eventually go back to S&W for a rebuild before I do a lot of shooting with it, so be careful. |

People around here vary crazy on these things, I have seen them as cheap as maybe 1100 all the way up to 1600 or so.

I have to agree, that one is not in the best of condition and may need an overhaul. Some parts are starting to not be available on these too from the factory. I'm sure the secondary market will have the parts for a while though.
In that condition I wouldn't pay over 800 for either and I think that's generous. I would send it to Colt for an inspection overhaul and reblue. |
