I couldn't Help myself

[flotter390]

I guess I was board and went to an old country gun shop (on old mouse hill rd!!) to shoot the breeze and to see what they had. I wish I didn't (or my wife wishes I hadn't. Look what I found.

You must be joking. It's like these satin-finish series 70 MkIV's are raining down from the sky, but I've yet to even see one of these. It looks like you have the same kind as this guy (http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=13263), so you might also want to check out that thread for random, likely-useless info. I'd love to congratulate you, but my jealousy at the moment won't allow it.

Very nice Colt to add to the collection. Believe me I understand about not being able to help oneself on the purchase of a Colt. You did good.

Let's see....a blue Government model, a CCO, a Defender, several Woodsmans...that should keep you busy. :D

Nice stable of Ponies you have there!!!

I like that stainless, full-size gun, especially being an S70. Thanks for sharing.

John,

That's a satin nickel finish, Series 70s were not offered stainless (I'm talking the originals, not the current replicas).

Very nice Fred, but like OD* says: "slow down."
How can the rest of us keep up with the Jones's with you getting all the loose ponies out there! :D

Can't even get one of those in California; had to content myself with an S80, but I'm happy with it. Congrats, and I know how it is with Colts; I couldn't resist that blued S80 either.
