    New (to me) Colt Ace



    1982 Colt Custom shop Ace - electroless nickel, all original (no box or papers) total of 4 mags. Slight pitting on the TG and the edges of the dust cover.

    Couldn't turn it down, it followed me home, honest!
    The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

        Stray guns do that to me all the time, too!
        I'm a big-hearted guy so I always let them stay and live in my safe.

        Nice find, congratulations!

          It was a sort-of desperation sale on the part of the owner. He asked for $600.00 and I didn't dicker.

                        That's a heck of a find---by coincidence--I found a blued one yesterday(from 1980 with box and papers) serial#SM28xxx
                        and bought it. Pete

                          Well, it was mine. I sold it a couple of weeks ago. It was a real tack driver.
