Treat it to a box of expensive ammo or take it to see a nice movie, like Way of the Gun or The Wild Bunch.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. The prefix 71N was used for all the new reproduction Series 70 Gold Cups so it won't help to establish a date of manufacture. Your best bet is to call Colt at 1-800-962-COLT or else look up your serial number on their website and see if it comes up: Colt's Manufacturing LLC

Good one.

 

BTW let me correct myself... the blued Series 80 Gold Cups had a 71N prefix as well.

 

I rather date a Philly than a Colt.

 

I guess, if you're into that sort of thing. I prefer women personally. Bag of oats, some hay, maybe an apple would go nice?

Sorry for going along with all the other smart-asses on here, but you walked into it, lol.

 

1st date?, you have to see "Colt 45"

Colt .45 (film) - Wikipedia

 

For a Colt gun, go to their website or call them.

For a Colt 45 malt liquor, they are usually only a few weeks old.

 

I have Wilson book that goes up to 1985, if you post the number. You could leave off the last 2 if you wanted.

 

71N039

 

Sorry, I am of no help.

70N prefix ended 1981.

N70 suffix from'81 to '83.

'84 started with prefix FN.

So, at the minimum, it is newer than an '84.

 

Serial Number Data

 

Ok thank you

 

I looked at Proof House as well but their database is too old. You really need to call Colt's customer service at the number I provided. They can tell you the exact year it was made.

 

My 71N07637 Is a new 70 series GCNM in 9mm bought new in early 2019
