Hoser !! You da Man !! Thanks :grin:

Now, if they'd only sell them in CA, I'd be more excited. With limited run of 4,000 I doubt it! But if any of you "insiders" hear differently, let us poor Kalifornians know!

I want them to make one that looks like this!!!

 

[Hoser]

Okay, what's the story with THAT beauty?

 

[gyp_c2]

No story. That's the problem...I want one.

 

[Hoser]

I'm no historian here so excuse this question...

Is that the NEW Colt GI re-issue or an older "original"?

 

[gyp_c2]

Old "Navy" model...

How about a some other options easily found. Too bad they still aren't WAY under $1000 these days.

1933-Commercial, 1976-70G series 70, 1985- 2nd year production Stainless series 80 and finally a 1992-2nd year production 1991A1.

But for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want any of them when there are such better guns available today as a base or as a builder.

 

[gyp_c2]

Just one of those things that sneaks up and grabs you!

Until I saw that pic of that Navy model, I said, " what in the world would someone do with an old one?"

Just a want...

For what we like to do TO THEM...I'm with you...I wouldn't want one of those either...
...just that one Navy though...I wouldn't change a spring...
