Description:
22 cal. Oct bbl. Quite a bit of original finish remains on this gun with about 75% thinning blue on the bbl. The receiver also has ample blue with about 40% on the right and 60% on the left side. The blue is starting to turn. Nice smooth metal. The brass loading port has a beautiful aged antique patina. Butt stock is VG with the exception of a small chip out at the toe and very small chip at the upper corner at the frame. Orig butt plate is in VG cond. Forearm shows some use and has a very light crack from the screw hole up. Very common on these 22's and this forearm is above average. Bore could use a good cleaning and has some roughness. A very good example of a small frame Colt.
