Colt Python's past..........

[Dframe]

During the AR Panic of a couple years ago, I was able to trade a Rock River for a 2 1/2 inch Python to complete my small group. It was nearly even money, best deal I ever made!

That makes me sick with envy

When I was poking around on GunBroker yesterday, I saw that my LGS has a 6" nickle Python listed for $3,250.00!

I recently bought a CZ 452 Military Trainer from a coworker. It had $209 price sticker on the box. They go for double that now, ten years after he bought it.

I've seen Python's go for $1800-3k, depending on model and condition. I want a 6" stainless in 44mag but want it less than the $2500+ they command.

Never seen a 44 mag Python.

I meant a Colt....not necessarily a Python. Anaconda...

My mother use to fill up 5 bags of groceries at the market for $25.00.....so ?

Anacondas are not difficult to find for well under $2500.

Here's a local Python....$4900 asking price

asking price and selling price are often two different things

I bought mine two years ago for $1,500, if things continue the way they are one of my nephews will be happy. I know I'll never willingly sell it.

I just thought the sales receipt was interesting. Didn't mean to start a brouhaha over ecnomics of the times.

Trading a RRA AR for a 2 1/2" Python? That's one heckuva swap.
