Scored a Colt "Army Special" .32-20

[Mike Armstrong]

I'm a sucker for Colts, .32-20s (and other .32s), and guns that are well-used but in exc. mechanical condition and thus good for shooting and carrying instead of being safe queens....did I mention affordable? Found a 6" blue Colt Army Special in .32-20 WCF with about 85% of the old bright blue, made in 1909. Tight with a shiny, sharp bore and intact black hard rubber factory grips. Shows signs of quite bit of carrying but still handsome and all original.

I've been wanting to retire my 1910-vintage Bisley .32-20, and this is a good candidate for its replacement, I hope. I'll probably stick to Black Hills "Cowboy" .32-20 factory loads for this as I have with the Bisley. And use their great Starline cases for hotter reloads in my Win Lowall, the .32-20 barrel for my G2 Contender Carbine, and my NM Blackhawk .30 Carbine (a GREAT .32-20!).

LIKE IT...........FOUND a Police Positive 38 and a 32 20 1932 similar to yours a couple of years ago...for...$900.............Did it immediatly! Moved the positive for 800 credit on a 98+% 1200 2nd Gen Colt 22 short heavy barrel target in box .........Kept the 32 20 which is 99% Uncommon deals and rare to do in big shows. Also kep the 22, as it is the model with the clip release like the 1911.........Fun stuff........
