My dumbass friend sold his green label Colt a few years ago and now wants to buy another Colt or Bushy preban. He would prefer a FTF or local dealer in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess or Orange counties. Don't limit you replies to only these counties as he will consider just having it shipped to a FFL in the area.

Please IM me with replies and do not post any details about rifles for sale in this thread.

Please feel free to post here what a dumbass he was for getting rid of his rifle. He never told me that he was selling it or I would have bought it myself.

Thanks in advance.

OK, he was a dumbass.

That's what I told him. He said he already knew that.

Is this your semi-annual post in the NY Forum?

He has a nice pre-ban Colt.  He is in Pulaski NY.  A little out of the way!

No, he was not a dumbass.  The fact is that he will most probably pay far less for it now than what he sold his for a few years ago.

Actually he is a dumbass. I think he sold it for what he paid for it new back in the eighties. He never called me to ask what it was worth. If I'd known he wanted to get rid of it I would have bought it myself. I don't think it had more then 100 rounds through it.

I retract my previous statement.  In 1988 a new Colt green label was around $700.  He is a dumbass for selling it for around that when he could have gotten at least $1400-$1500 for it a few years ago.  Keep your eyes peeled.  There have been quite a few preban Colts and Bushmasters available in the $850-$950 range lately.  I would not pay more than that.

Thanks for the price range Raptor.
