Mike,

That's a pretty neat little .32.

BogeyB · 05-11-2008, 09:23 PM

Ron,

Too bad it's not a .380, or I would bid on it!

Mike,

You would have some competition. I love .380s...

I love .32's, actually prefer them over the .380. But I won't be bidding on this one. Too many other things I want more.

That is neat and I agree if I was going to throw that much of a rebuild into one a 380 would be a better investment.Its no longer C&R qualified thou correct?

Hugh · 05-13-2008, 07:31 PM

I wouldn't think the rework would change the C&R status of the gun, its still an "antique" Colt. I agree that doing to a 32 instead of a 380 was an excercise in futility!

John Sabato · 05-13-2008, 07:39 PM

I agree with Hugh... modifications do not change the C&R status... The gun is still over 50 years old...

nhdblfan · 05-14-2008, 06:44 PM

Well if its still a C&R that does make it even more marketable,neat(but neater in 380!).
I thought I read somewhere in that phonebook of rules,and I could very well be wrong it happens all the time,something about orginal configuration or is that for military?

BogeyB · 05-15-2008, 08:20 PM

I talked to the seller ( Mark Wipurd ) about an earlier conversion. He had talked to a BATFE Agent and he said that as long as the receiver and slide were original ( both s/n'd together ), than the gun was C & R legal.
