    I've got a Colt Cobra that dates to 1961. Condition is good, but certainly not showroom: no turn line on the cylinder, but there is some pitting as a result of the previous owner storing it in a fur-lined leather bag. The pitting is mostly on the sides of the hammer, though there is some on the barrel and a tiny bit on the trigger. There is some finish wear on the butt and the hard corners of the frame, also. Mechanically, it's smooth as can be. It's timed right, lockup is tight, cylinder gap is great, and it looks like this gun was either fired infrequently or just carefully cleaned after. SA trigger breaks at about 3.6 lbs. The cylinder release feels a little tight (still opens fine one-handed), but I'm not sure if that's from a lack of use or just long term storage.

    I have one photo for now, but will try to take more tomorrow:

    Trade interests (can add or receive cash if unequal trade value):
    - Chiappa Rhino 200D, 200DS, 30DS, or 40DS
    - A decent AKM. 7.62x39, pistol or rifle, would REALLY prefer a combo front sight/gas block setup (for future SBR purposes) such as a Draco, M+M M10, ZPAP pistol, Century Paratrooper, or one of many such Atlantic builds. Other parts kit builds fine too, if done properly.
    - Glock 9mm, 17 or 19, preferably with night sights.
    - Walther PPQ, M1 or M2
    - CZ Bren 805 or Bren 2 - any caliber, configuration, or barrel length OK but prefer a .223 pistol
    - Pistol carbine of some sort: CZ Scorpion Evo 3 (pistol or carbine), Ruger PC, Rossi M92 (16"), possibly a 9mm AR build?

    FTF trade ONLY, absolutely no shipping. I'm near 75 & 635.

    Thanks for the interest! I don't know, I was hoping for a quick trade to avoid having to lose too much time replacing it with another firearm, hah. Let's say... $600? I added some more photos of it to the first post. The bluing on these old Colts is gorgeous.

    Oh, one other thing, I think I'm also gonna try to move my H&R 733. It's a 1980, in absolutely lovely condition - some discoloration on the sides of the hammer and a couple scuffs on the grip panel are all I can find of note. I almost didn't think it had ever been fired, but I wiped some carbon from the forcing cone, so it has had a round or two through the barrel. Original box and paperwork, plus the original sales receipt to the first owner (from a hardware store in Dec 1981).

    I'd take $160 for that one.
