    Thanks, as always, appreciate your thoughts. Bolt face is also very clean. The FP has some blue marker on the end which seems a bit odd.

    The cam pin is also nearly pristine.

    It came with an original manual, bayonet, black web sling and the cleaning kit is still installed in the stock. So, I'm guessing I got some poor guys estates safe queen.

    Pretty cool. I'd lean towards NOT shooting it.

    So it hasn't been shot a LOT. But one thing you need to remember about these older Colts is there will be just a little patina and that might mask some wear. I'd put a couple mags through it just to function test everything and make sure you don't need to grab some spare parts. These also shoot quite a bit different than the more modern Colts you are used to, it's an experience you don't want to miss.
