So i have an opportunity to buy this rifle.
My question is if this rifle is really worth the price i see going on auction websites. I see auctions with bids from $500-2200. What is this worth in decent working shape as pictured? http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm290/walldj45/SANY6067.jpg |

Don't worry about the bid prices, look at the selling prices instead, IMO.
Colt's are funny animals on worth. Something as small as an inspector's stamp can make it worth another $100 sometimes. I'm not knowledgeable enough to give an accurate number value for you, sorry. Someone should be along who will though. My .o2 |

"decent working shape" can be a bit tricky for Colt Lightning .22 pumps......they frequently have terrible bores, and rough internals......
Like the posters above said, are you looking for a shooter, or looking to turn a quick buck? Collectors look for high-condition guns....like 90% +...anything else is a 300-350 dollar shooter that no one else will have at the range that day........ Just my opinion though eta: a quick search of completed auctions on gunbroker shows 2 guns in "shooter" grade that actually sold.......both look as nice/ nicer than the one pictured.......400.00 and 430.00 |
