Guys, I thought I had seen it all. Sunday went to a local gun show. One dealer had a colt new service revolver in 45 long colt for LESS than $300. You heard right, less than $300. Now you gotta remember that I have cataracts and sometimes don't see too well. At first glance it looked worn but in good condition. The bbl and cylinder looked like it had not been cleaned since the boxer rebellion. But rifling was sharp and distinct. The finish looked to be very worn. OK, no problema. A closer look showed marks from a wire wheel that had been used to cleanoff what may have been surface rust.
The rampant colt stallion was visibly legible but only just. The dealer said that was how the gun came to him. Well at least the grips were origional and in good condition. Kinda makes you wonder though. That guy must be dumber than a box of rocks. Frank
