I was in visiting my local pusher today and was telling the manager of the gun department that I am still waiting for them to get a S&W model 29 with a 4" barrel in the used section that I can buy. We got to talking and he said that the store had bought several guns from a guy recently that they were getting ready to put out for sale. He told me that he thought that a '70s model series 70 Colt 1911 was in the mix but he couldn't find it in the computer. I will make him look harder tomorrow.
He went on to tell me that in the group was two '70s Colt Service Ace .22s. I told him that I thought that I might be interested in one (he said that he was buying the other one) and asked what the selling price might be. He told me that he thought that it would be around $850. He said he might even be able to do a little better for me since I am a good customer (they get a lot of my paycheck).
What do you think? Good price? Buy it as a safe queen? Pass it up and wait for the next interesting thing to show up?
I have about all of the guns that I really wanted and actively sought out (almost). Now I wait for interesting things to present themselves to me.
