Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Colt's website lists prices for a New Frontier at $1599.00 so if it's in good condition that's not a bad price considering there's a 2 year wait on a new one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Interesting. Learn something new everyday. I thought those were D/C'ed decades ago. JHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 It looks very good from the counter, but I didn't look at it close up. It is blue, with wooden grips. After the OP, I looked at some of the auction sights, and that's about what they are running. Some lower, some higher. Dealer also told me he had some wiggle room.

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If it's used, the dealer should be willing to go to 1,400-1,450. Depends on condition, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The shorter barrel ones bring a better price. I have 2 of them in 5.5 barrels that I gave 1000.00 NIB third gen about 8 years ago. Depending on what you want to use it for, seems a bit on the high side. However, I have been accused of being thrifty with my money. (CHEAP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 New frontiers don't fetch the same kind of crazy prices on the auction sites like SAA do, which also hurts resale value. If there is indeed wiggle room, and you like the gun as a shooter, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'd have to trade some other guns for it. I just have to decide which I want the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I picked up a second gen new in the box 7 1/2 in .45 for 1200 last year. Id see if he'd come down a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagebrush Burns, SASS # 14226 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Eight years ago Colt was not making New Frontiers. The original run of 3rd generation New Frontiers was built in the late 70s and early 80s. Some of them are very sweet, some are a bit rough. The only way to know is to handle the gun and work the action. The New Frontier was reintroduced about four years ago and these are very sweet. The 70s/80s have a NF suffix and non-removable cylinder bushing. The new ones have an NF prefix and the removable bushing. I have both and like them both. Price wise New Frontiers are almost always less expensive than regular SAAs. The way Colt prices are these days, if you can find one under $1500 it is likely a good deal.

Cat Brules Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Doesn't the New Frontier have a ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight? I believe they are. If so, I'd limit my offer to a maximum $900 (if the revolver is in excellent or better condition). Or, more likely, I'd pass on it. In fact, I just am just not interested in Colt's SAA revolvers with those sights. I saw one the other day for sale, handled it and had no enthusiasm for it at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
