Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Price cut to $1450 shipped. Unfired 43 year old Colt SAA for $1450 has to be best deal around. This does not have removable bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 This is a pre-strike Colt SAA made before they were made by replacement workers. So quality should be a continuation of second generation Colt SAA. The fixed bushing is not really a big deal. Most people will not wear out the pressed in bushing. And if it wears out, it can be replaced but it takes someone skilled in the methods used. The cylinder can be converted to use the old style removable bushing but it would take a skilled Colt gunsmith shop to convert it. "Built like tanks" Rugers don't have a removable bushing. I just wish it was a 38WCF, 44WCF or 45Colt. I'd be talking to my financial manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA has a single action exemption, so all single action revolvers are exempt from the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo Jim SASS # 21775 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Thank you Warden Callaway for that good information. You explained why I said "almost second gen". Backward Billy......it is my understanding that all ffl have to register with the state of California that is the problem, not the particular gun.

Yes that’s true. You do it online and it takes about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strike was from 86-90, so only four years of scab workers building them. FWIW, I’ve had several that were made in 78/79 time frame and all were exceptional quality. And if it were in one of those calibers, gun would have already been sold Thursday at 10:20 when I first checked haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I've misspoken, feel free to correct me. I would think a CAS shooter would make good use of a 357 seeing that 38 special is a popular caliber.
