Colt Trooper (NOW FOR SALE or trade) PRICE LOWERED

*****SOLD*****

Greetings all!

I'd like to sell this nice Colt Trooper NOW FOR $750 CASH.

This gun was made in 1968 and has a 6" barrel. It is the older style, I-frame, Trooper that preceded the Mk. III, from an era when they still had "V" mainspring and hand-fitted parts (learn more here: https://revivaler.com/colt-trooper/). I am the third owner, bought it from a co-worker over a decade ago, and have personally shot several hundred rounds (mostly .38sp) through it. It is a very good shooter, and in overall quite good condition, one of the nicest guns I have ever owned. There is light holster wear in the bluing at muzzle tip. Comes with a vintage leather holster, also in good condition.

Open to trade possibilities, please PM any offers with picture. More interested in cash.

(Apologies for the bluish wash on several of the pictures, was working with a mediocre cell-phone camera and mediocre lighting.)

Thanks,
Josh

The gun I am selling is like the one on the left.

Please note: Lots of what appears shiny in the pictures is glare from the lighting, NOT bluing wear. The bluing is in overall good condition, only true wear is near the muzzle, visible in third picture.

Nice! I have my father's Colt Trooper 4" born in 1964. The poorman's Python.

let me know if you have a cash price for it !

I don't think I'll sell for cash, which has a tendency to burn holes in my pocket. Again: I'm open to other possible trades, but really only looking for .357 rifle.

I am also open to driving farther if someone outside of the initial geographic area I referenced has a deal for me.

Thanks,
Josh

Negative, this GP100 match champion is really nice and not going anywhere. I just put the pictures out to get you ladies all wet. Like porn for the geezers
