COLT GOLD CUP N.M./70 SERIES

Recommended Posts

I recently ran across a deal(at least I think so) on a Colt Gold Cup National Match 70 series on another forum that I belong to. I've always wanted one in 70 series and passed on a few due to the price($1200- $2000 plus) this one I got for $850. I checked the serial# on Colts web-site and it showed it was made in 1981. The slide to frame fit is tight with no movement or rattle, has the original box(has seen better days but it is original to the gun) has a collet bushing and it fits tight to the Bbl. front strap has the vertical serrations, original grips. I haven't had time to put some rounds down it yet, but hopefully soon.  Here are a few pics.

Outstanding deal! You're gonna love it!  :bow:

Whip up some nice 200gr LSWC target loads and prepare to be amazed. :D

Yeah I have about 8000 loaded and ready to go. I can't wait to run some down it and see how it shoots.

Nice piece! Watch the roll pin that holds the rear Ellison sight on. They aren't hardened very much and have been know to fail causing the rear sight to pop out and get lost. When I shot mine a lot I replaced it with a solid pin.

Thanks for the advice, do you remember the size of the pin.
