Colt's trigger frame on GB


Recommended Posts

I believe it is one of the remnants from the 1939 French order of 3000 Colt's.

Agree about the hammer. It is just a very expensive, i.e., overpriced, display piece.

 

T.D., are not most Colt Thompson's very expensive display pieces?

This is the best question/comment I have seen all year!

But if someone had the matching receiver they'd buy that paperweight in a heartbeat and pay a TSMG-competent smith whatever it took to restore it.

 

...then locked it up in his safe to be taken out once or twice a year and displayed

Plus 2 Ross. And yes, many are. However, there are still a number of shooter Colt's in the community. There are ways to shoot a lot of Colt's without devaluing the investment. But I understand your point!

 

Regarding the receiver of NO 9283, I would be very much surprised if it ever returned to the U.S.A. That said, Colt's have an uncanny ability to survive.

 

All good stuff!!!
