My LGS has a Colt 1911 ( pre A1) in the case .
Good News : Complete , US Property marked , great condition
Bad News ( depending upon interpretation ) :
Shiney reblue ( good quality , not rounded or over polished ) , newer bbl , engine turned over chamber . Arched mainspring housing w/ lanyard . Good 4.5 to 5 lb trigger , undoubtedly been tuning. Bbl isn't stupid tight , but tighter than GI . About how you would expect a good practical shooter to be fitted .
Yeah , all the "bad news " is arguably good news in other contexts .
One of my sub niches is desirable classic guns , with just enough non original to make affordable . Such as my two S&W 2nd Model .44 Hand Ejectors with aftermarket nickle finishes .
Asking price is $900 . I know that an offer of $ 700 was turned down . Is $900 in the right ballpark ?
