henryj,
Depending upon condition, this could be a good price for a used M66. My dealer has one on his wall which I want. However, he talked me into a nice but worn Model 15 today. Since this is the handgun I learned to shoot with during my Air Force days, I figured I could not pass it up at $100.
He is asking $295 for the M66 but would probably give it to me for $250. His prices are a little above average, but his guns are also a LOT above average.
I just bought a Lew Horton modified 3" M66 from him for $200 which is an excellent shooter! So I am gonna have to see what I can part with to make this trade. I really like S&W K-frames and seem to be buying enough older models to last me for the rest of my life...and my son's life!
I really have no knowledge of Hoplite, but unless someone can say they are a problem, I would go for it.
