I bought this 45 more years ago then i can remember , i would guess 25 or 30.
When i bought it ,it was a late 60s Colt commander, I shot it and carried it a lot, but the old colt sights were none to good, so i sent it to Don Williams, (the action works) and had him put a set of Heinnie strait 8s on it, give it a reliability package, fit a beavertail and match bushing. and trigger job.
Shortly after receiving the Colt Don called and informed me the frame had a slight Crack at the Slide lock hole. So at his suggestion i ordered a Caspian frame and shipped it to him.
And he rebuilt the gun on the new stainless frame. So what it is now is a Custom Commander built by a top smith with a Colt slide and barrel, caspian frame Strait 8s , that lost there glow long ago. Nice double diamond grips, match bushing drop in beavertail.and a few other things i cant remember. I put about 1200.00 into it 25 years ago when that bought a bunch more than it does now ! But i have alloy framed Dan Wesson that is so light in comparison, this one never gets carried.
I value it a around a grand, for trade purposes, but am flexible if you have something i want.
I like lever guns Good revolvers , am drooling for a .45 LC Blackhawk or Bisley, (no Vaqueroes).
A full size Colt 1911 or a Defender, would get my attention. FN bolt guns, Maybe a GI 30 carbine ! I would take cash offers too...thanks !

I wish you did too !

Is this still around??

From the slide roll-mark, it had an alloy frame. Unfortunately that happened a lot with those. But having a Don Williams pistol is nothing to sneeze at.

I've been rather fond of Caspian frames. Sounds like someone will end up with a very nice .45.

Still available?

 

[tj3006]

I still have it.

 

[Joe Olsen]

I still have it.

Would you consider 500 and a 30-30 lever action in fantastic condition?

 

[tj3006]

What kind of 30/30 ?

 

[Joe Olsen]

What kind of 30/30 ?

It is a 1965 Ted Williams model 100. Exact same as a Winchester model 94 made by Winchester and branded by Winchester as a Ted Williams. I don't believe it's ever been fired. No rust no putting in like new condition

 

[tj3006]

I will look into it. Is there a original box or anything ?

I don't believe there ever was box with it. I could throw in a box and 1/2 of ammo. If you like you could end me your phone number and I will text you pictures if you like. I struggle with this web site

 

[tj3006]

I have a real nice 30/30 now, i think i will pass.

Thank you! Would you consider 650 cash?
