SOLD Custom Colt Cobra Snub Nose .38 (BMT)

Post by doc540 »

SOLD




I've bought another Colt snub nose (kinda rough and worn) so I'm going to sell my prized carry piece. Gary Dean did the trigger job, a fellow Texas did an excellent job on the hammer bob and checker, and Jim Badger hand crafted the Rosewood boot grips. He narrowed them, minimized the finger grooves, and relieved the left panel for speedloader clearance.

It looks and shoots great. There is a small scratch on the right side plate up near the hammer which was there when I bought it and, actually, justified carrying it since it wasn't perfect. Also, there is a hint of wear on the left panel from carrying in my SmartCarry rig.

Also included is a like-new set of original, Colt, wood grips (you can price them on Gunbroker, and they're bringing around $40-$50), a set of Colt factory rubber grips, a Colt screwdriver, and one speedloader. I need to keep one of the two shown in the picture.

Also, picture #4 shows the Cobra before I had the hammer bobbed and checkered. Ammo's not included if we have to ship it. If it's a face-to-face transaction I can include 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 135 grain, short-barrel ammo.

$700 cash buys the whole shootin' match. I can ship it to your FFL for $20.



I also have it on GB, but can end the auction until the reserve is met.

I don't believe I'm seeing this for sale. She's a beauty.

So very nice to meet Doc! MAR and I had a nice "alone time" drive to the "Beautiful Mountain", and I can now say I drive a gun showroom! :rolll Thanks for meeting us in the drippy weather and the pointers.

Happy Valentines Day to me! Some girls like diamonds, but I like me some Colt Snubbie! I can NOT wait to get to the range, and if laundry weren't calling my name I would be there now!

I will try to post some pics of my 3 babies in daily carry. I guess I will have to start planning my "outfits" - and I will need a new holster! :clapping: .

Thanks again Doc! I am back in the wheel gun family.

Are you going to bring it to the next Forum Day to show it off?

I don't know what brand it is, but the holster that Longtooth has as his avatar looks like a good BBQ rig.
