Interesting Colt Prototype

Fascinating. I must admit that my initial impression was that it was not what it claimed to be, but I'm convinced. Pretty nifty. Wish I had a spare grand for an interesting conversation piece and the documentation that comes with it...

Ah, maybe not as cool as I first thought-- it's "Some assembly required." No grip to it or trigger, doesn't look like. Just the barrel assembly and the receiver:

I have edited this posting. I said that $975 would be a good deal, then realized that there really isn't any gun, just a couple of partially finished parts. It still might be a good buy, but the $975 would be too high.

Ever seen a C.O.P.? Compact Off-duty Police. It had 4 barrels in .357 Magnum.
 
Kind of interesting. Been on auction for a while. I'm maybe 4-5 miles up the road from the seller, which doesn't mean I can go look at it, since they keep 90% of their inventory in parts of the building where you can't browse. They're a gun store that's, not annoying really, but odd. Always dashing out to estate sales and auctions, lots of lines on collections of former employees at various gun manufacturers. If you ask if they have a listing of what they've got, since they don't put it out, they tell you "no." You're supposed to give them a list of what you want, and if/when they get it, maybe they'll call.
I have lots of really wierd exchanges with them, like;
me: "I'm really looking to purchase an x"
Them: "I've got one. I bought so many the factory made a special rubber stamp."
me: "fantastic!"
Them: "Well, if you don't have any more questions, I'll be in my office; I don't have all day to screw around."
Me: "..."
Them: "Come again some time. We're here to buy, not to sell, but still it's nice to have walk in customers."
Me: "but... what about..."
Them: "Bye!"
