I want to gather opinions regarding what I saw and did the other day. I was at Cabelas in WV and I noticed in their gun room, to my astonishment, a Colt MK III trooper 22 LR 4 in for $400. When I looked at the gun up close, it had about 70% to 80% of the finish left however it didn't appear to have any pitting or rust. The grips appeared to be original to the gun but they were marked up. No box or papers. The cylinder had a significant drag line and the gun locked up pretty good, not as good as my S&Ws but I don't think it was a problem. When I held the gun, cocked it and dry fired it (with the cylinder out) it was smooth as silk. I was really interested in this gun (partly because I have NO snakes) so the guy said well let me see what we'll take for it. He comes back and says $300 is as low as they would go. At first I was gung ho, but I then thought, damn this gun was not well kept and/or well used. The grips were marked up but not cracked. Then I thought briefly about re-bluing. I said to myself, it would be sinful to re-blue this gun but on the other hand I would be buying it as a shooter anyways. After I told the guy I'd think about it, I looked it up in the blue book of firearms, 2009 ed. The blue book gave it a value of $180 if it was 80%. I decided not to get the gun. Part of the reason I left it was because I just inherited a vintage S&W 1953 K-22 target masterpiece with a TH and TT. I want to see what you colt fans and 22 shooters and revolver fans think about the gun and what I did. I left it there so feel free to blast me. I want to know if I made a big mistake or not. Thank you.
