Thats when I started to seriously question the price of it.
My buddy just gave me a great deal on one. $350 for the gun and 3 mags.

I obviously don't the true value but it seems to be rather inflated.Quote:

Haven't seen a $500 AR lower on Armslist yet:) all depends on the SN and what model of that 1911,the grips are not org. Maybe the 1,000rds is Hornady Critical Defense:)
Argentine 1911's I would put at $400-$550 depending on condition. I would not go any higher than that personally. They tend to have had rough lives.
I sold one for $800, it was all matching great shape. Made on Colt machinery.But there are alot of rough ones.

Scout sound like you had one of the rare ones. I have just seen mostly rough ones through the years.
Yeah, the guy didnt even try to lowball me, he knew alot about them.Ive seen the ones that are used as hammers on their days off.:)Quote:

That gun has had a lot of work done to it. There is no way it's worth $1200. Especially without knowing who installed the parts that have been swapped out.
$500 gun....tops.
Some of the Argentine guns can be pricey depending on the markings and originality. That one ain't anything special.
For $1200 you'd be better off buying a real Colt.
