Colt Firearm Question......................

An individual I know has a Colt Mustang MK IV Series 80 he is selling.
He claims it to be 98%, and shot very little. The pic he sent me appears to back that up.
He is asking $400.00,...............what do ya think?

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
It's not a Single Action, therefore I can be of no assistance; but you already knew that! [:D]
I could have made some money when I posted this![:D]
I bet you would see "Colt", and be the first "wiseacre",..........appears I was right![:0][:o)]

Blue Finish: $525.00
Nickel: $500.00
Stainless Steel: $500.00
Coltguard $550.00
And unless the finish is worn, at least on the high edges, you might be looking at a 99%+ finish Colt that is almost like new, so add another two Andrew Jacksons and one Alexander Hamilton. [:D]
Sounds good to me too Mark. The 29th Edition of the BBGV shows a 98% Mustang:

Thanks Kimi,.........looks like stainless.
I am not familiar with the "Coltguard" finish.
I just thought it seemed pretty cheap for one in that shape, compared to what I see on the auction side.
Sounds like a pretty good deal!
The few I seen in the auctions say 95% and they are wanting over 600 for them.
BTW, how can a gun be 95% and the "Safety does not appear to work??"
Nice pistol though
My friend that is a manager of the HVAC wholesaler that I go to, told me about the gun.
It is owned by a fellow that I have seen on and off over the years, as he works in the same trade as I do.
Evidently he is having some money issues right now.
This is the pic........not real big!
Buy it; it's a deal.
I just e-mailed the guy,.........hope he hasn't sold it already.

[:)] Nice one from what I can tell, Mark. I think Rob has a very good handle on this than I do. Hey, if you end up breaking off negotiations with Old-Colts on one of his SAA's, then I might cut you a huss on a LNIB Series 70, MKIV, Gold Cup NM. [:D] Just kidding, naturally.
Dashed hopes once again.[}:)][:D][;)]
Hey, if you end up breaking off negotiations with Old-Colts on one of his SAA'sI wasn't aware I had one for sale; how much am I asking [?][;)][:D]

Kimi,.....you and Old-Colts are just plain mean with all of the kidding around!

Old-Colts is obviously a fan of "fitty cent." [:0]
Check your mail in a few minutes BTW,.......sending you a real offer!

Snatch it up Mark and get plenty of ammo!! I'm sure I'll be down your way one day![:p][:p]

Rob,.......I just saw the one you were talking about.[:D]
Now I will drive myself crazy waiting for a reply from the guy.
He sent me the pic on Friday,......hope he still has it.
If he does, and it looks close to the pic with no issues,....it is sold.
Long as you have the money, you'd be crazy not to. Jump on that thing like a fat man on a pizza, dude![:D][:D]

No folks, it wasn't an offer to buy. In reality, Marc only likes black guns! [:0][:D]

See if you can find a box and papers if you get it and it doesn't have them with it.

Marc, a rough one will bring $400 around here, and they are going up every day. I see clean ones fetch $500 - $550 regularly. I believe they are going to be pretty good collectables, and I wouldn't take $650 for mine. They are going no where but up.
See if you can find a box and papers if you get it and it doesn't have them with it.
Danny,.......I intend to snatch it up if I can.
No reply so far from my mail.
I should have posted this right when I got the pic on Friday.
I most likely would have been the owner.
Positive thoughts though,.....it's a holiday weekend, and maybe the guy isn't around.
I am going to meet him first thing in the AM.
No box, or papers, and one magazine.
Also he said he will not go lower than 400 bucks.
As I said before,......if it looks like the pic, I will be bringing it home tomorrow evening.

I am new to this but I just had to chime in. He likes his women like he likes this coffee? Ground up and in the freezer?

Stopped by this AM, and stripped it. The guy had not cleaned the gun since he had it, but I looked at the barrel, and checked function.
All perfect,.......probably a couple hundred rounds shot from it at most. A couple of holster rub marks on the "beadblasted" top of the slide.
I offered him 375 bucks cash, and he took it.
Guy needed the money, as he just got laid off from Merillat, the cabinet maker that has a place here.
Before anyone criticizes for beating him down 25 bucks, I only did it because I would never attempt to sell a gun that was not cleaned perfectly.
Just got in, and thoroughly cleaned it,........stripped, grips off, everything. Used Flitz on the marks, and I now have what I would say is a 99% "teeny" Colt. Grips are perfect.
I will post a pic for those interested,........as soon as I get my cam back from a friend of mine that borrowed it for eBay sales.[:0]
It is really in great condition, with all edges sharp.
Serial is MS17161, if anyone knows the date of manufacture.
If nothing else, I will keep it for awhile, and turn it for a profit.
Well,.....it is mine!

[:)] Congrats Mark! Sounds like you are really happy with it...and that you got it for a great price too. Please post pics when you can.
Well,.....it is mine!Glad you got it Marc, sounds like a great purchase!

Nice little .380! I know two folks who have the blued Gov't Model .380's and those little things are pretty accurate for a gun that size with fixed sights. One of the people uses his as his carry gun[:D]
This is the only one that I own that I can put in a front pocket of fairly snug jeans, and would not be noticed with a polo type shirt on.
Also doesn't pull my "drawers" down,.......I don't want to look like one of "those."[:0]

Did you kiss him before you ****** him? [8D]

Actually I was thinking about going to the "club" tomorrow night.
I shouldn't tell YOU this but fridays it's all you can eat fish fry buffet. [:D] [:p] [:D]

those prices are pretty cheap at least where I'm from. you could add another two hundred and still be a little low.

That's nice! I might have to look at one for carry; I prefer the exposed hammer!
It's nice, but for sure a "carry" piece,.......makes my XD subcompact .40 look big!
I need to find a good IWB holster for it now.
Actually, I need to get some .380 ammo, and go to the range first![8D]
