A friend just took a Colt New Frontier .45 Colt, 7.5" barrel SA revolver in trade for some MOPAR Muscle car parts. He offered it to me for $300. It is described in "as new condition" and questioning him further he said it is "100%" blue and looks unfired.
Never really wanted one of the these Colt SA with adjustable sights BUT at this price, well I can't resist. Can't think of any reason why I should not buy it. Any comments?
As I recall, these guns are similar to the Colt SA Army model except they have an adjustable rear sight and a "highly ugly" front sight. Seems like they were made in the 1960's or 1970's, but I have no idea of Colt's quality in that era. Any comments?
Another thought. Most of these guns were made with color-case hardened frames and blue cylinders & barrels. Is the all-blue version rare? - or is it refinished? How can I tell if it is refinished?
Made an appointment to purchase for noon tomorrow.
Appreciate any comments.
