OR Stolen. Then who'd be stupid.
Having done business in wyo, you could score an AK for say $300 , be stuck with it cause no one is that interested. Yet have a 22-250 and what no one in CO would pay more than
$250 - 300 with optics, off load for $600 up there.
Different strokes for different folks.

It is difficult to tell by the pictures whether or not it is correct. WB marked colts are somewhat rare and it is an earlier serial number - check to see if the matching serial number is stamped under the slide stop. It is worth $100 even if it is crap, everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. If your buddy doesn't want it, have him grab it and I will double his money.

About $700 roughly based on the pics. If you PM me the serial number, I can get more accurate with an estimate on Tuesday when I get to work.

Ill have him check about the matching number. And he's pretty stoked about it, when I offered him $400 he said hell no so I think we are both out of luck.
