Description:
From 1971 until about 1983, firearms dealers had a choice as to how to get Smith & Wesson handguns for stock. They could pay inflated prices, well above wholesale, or by the late 1970s they could enlist in Smith & Wesson’s Stocking Dealer programs in their Carter Era form. Under that program, for every five Smith & Wesson 916 shotguns a dealer bought for $119.95 apiece, he would get one Model 29 for $250. We would sell the 916s at cost or lose $10-$20 apiece on them, and sell the 29 for $550 - $600 range pricing. The Model 916 was made for Smith & Wesson by High Standard. Quality was never on a par with Mossberg 500 or Remington 870, but they worked well enough, and Smith & Wesson got them cheaply enough to inflate their profits on the package deals. This particular specimen comes to us from a veteran cotton farmer’s estate in the Wildersville – Parker’s Crossroads area of neighboring Henderson County, bought new from our late friend Mr. Monk Anderson in about 1977 or 1978. Serial number is B96000 range. Surface wear is minimal, only a few small scours on the walnut buttstock, operation streaking on the single blue steel slide arm. There is still grease on the bolt surface and on the shell carrier; we do not believe this shotgun has been fired more than 25 to 50 times. We rate it as excellent, 90 percent vicinity. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for prospective owners to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent, and it is as mechanically sound as it ever was. Even though many S&W enthusiasts would consider it beneath their dignity, it is collectable as a relic of S&W high-pressure marketing during the Carter Years as well as being of High Standard provenance. We’re offering it for only $ 229.00.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $20 flat fee lower 48 states; $50 Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, UPS Ground with full insurance coverage.
