As I have mentioned, my son-in-law works in a pawnshop. Remember the Colt Python for $450? Well anyhow, he emails me at work and wonders if I would look at a S&W M36 for him so I stopped by after work. He brings out this Smith that looks new. I examined it and the cylinder wouldn't open and you couldn't fire it unless the cyl. latch was pulled to the back. I told him someone had probably taken it apart and didn't get it back together right and I could fix it. He says great because he is buying it...with an enormous grin on his face. How much are you giving was my question. He said $30 because it is broken!
