That's a strange reply from the seller.
I agree, and the components you mentioned would be the work of some customization to a knowledgeable person.. I don 't like saying this, but it reads like a person earning a consignment fee rather than a real owner who is invested in the firearm. YMMV. Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: That's a strange reply from the seller... I never heard of Bo-Mar sights coming from the factory as that rear sight required a custom cut, which also tells you that the gun is not stock. I don't believe the front sight was stock, either, as the back of it has been relieved in tiny stair steps to cut glare. And, while Colt sometimes installed a paddle-styled, drop-in semi beavertail grip safety I don't think they ever did a full beavertail like this gun has. You'd think a dealer/shop owner would know all this??? While Colt might have included a three-hole aluminum trigger on some guns (although I've never seen an example of that) I'd bet the same gunsmith Stu mentioned fitted this trigger when he did all the rest of the work, probably including a trigger job. |
