It was either a US military arsenal rebuild, or somebody's garage attempt at one. I agree the price was a little steep given the condition.

Don't fret. You can find far better quality for a far better price at gunsamerica.com. I was just over that way and saw two US surplus guns in good condition for @500. The one actually had to be photographed on a towel because it was dripping history.

The bad thing about that particular website is that there are a lot of good deals on Colts. I have labeled it as 'dangerous territory' and try to stay away.

There's also the opposite kind on Guns America, too. There's been a very nice WW2 Colt on there that I've had my eye on, but the owner won't budge from his nearly $2,200 asking price. Thing is, it's been up for sale since last May or June. The guy obviously is in no hurry to sell it.

thanks, i will hopefully have some money saved up by the next big show in tulsa in oct. the show will be twice as big.

the only thing about gunsamerica that i never buy a gun without handling it, i may be old fashion (heck i'm only 28) but i like to field strip the gun or have the seller do it for me before i buy i gun, even if its new in the box. i can't bring myself to buy a gun without seeing it first. i know some guns will be perfectly fine, but i like to hold it and go over it first.

i'll wait until i have the money, and then go to a show.
