South East OK Colt 1911A1 "Classic" O1911C .45ACP Series 70

[OK Corgi Rancher]

Location

Oklahoma, United States

As new, unfired. I bought this new from the Altus BX just over 3 years ago. It appears to me to be pretty much flawless. Only taken out of the safe and fondled by a little old man on Sundays. 1 magazine, box and all the included Colt swag.

Meet within 30-ish minutes of my home near Ada. Cash, PP F&F or Zelle. Not really looking for trades on this one.


Price = $860.00

Help a revolver collector out here. Series 70? I was under the impression this was an older series but this looks brand new. Does 70s refer to the style or? What year was this particular manufactured? Thank you for your patience

No problem. Basically, the major difference between 70 and 80 series guns is a firing pin safety. 70 series guns don't have them...just as the originals didn't. It's not a big deal, really...but purists prefer the 70 series.

This gun is a new model Colt introduced 3 or 4 years ago. It's actually styled more like the pre-70 series guns of the 50s or 60s. It's called the "Classic" because it has the older-style rollmarks on the slide.

Nice. wish I could swing it but I've been stocking up on ammo for what I've got. If this election goes south there will be a run on stuff to put the covid to shame.

Vote for The Donald and God Bless our nation and our liberties.

Oh, yeah, Flock the Kamaltoe.
