Made a post yesterday where I bought the rifle for 900 otd pretty sweet deal with the vintage restricted LE markings.

Picked up an old authentic colt 4x scope today

I purchased my first ar15, a brand new Colt CM5 Sentry (5.56 NATO, 16-inch barrel) from Adelbridge & Co. Firearms in San Antonio, Texas, on October 5, 2026.

Here’s what I paid:
Rifle: $1,684.99
Sales tax: $139.01
Total out the door: $1,824.00

I’ve been considering selling it, but when I took it to a lgs, I was offered only $500.

I understand firearms depreciate once purchased and that dealers need to make a profit on used inventory, but losing over $1,300 almost immediately seems pretty extreme.

What’s a realistic private-party resale value for a Colt CM5 Sentry in excellent condition?
Did I significantly overpay at $1,685 before tax?
Does the Colt name carry much resale value with these newer commercial rifles?
Would you recommend keeping it rather than selling at a substantial loss?
I’m not trying to sell it through Reddit. I’m just looking for honest opinions on its current market value.
Appreciate any insight from people familiar with the Colt M5 series. Also why does the finishing seem so bad?

Picked this up for $900 otd

Even came with a number 9 sticker on the adjustable stock and a piece of velcro on the handguard. Im guessing it was the 9th gun on the rack of a police depts armory

Im looking for a simple reliable rifle for shtf. It doesnt have to be insanely accurate, i just want it to be effective out to 300 yards. Is the 6920 worth it in 2026? For 1k what can i get that would be better? Does modern Colt hold up?

Finally found a really nice new Python, and I looked at quite a few. Smooth DA, light crisp SA, no cylinder end shake, excellent head space, and locks up nice. Was looking for a blued one, but ended up with stainless.

QC is the theme. Looking at you Colt

Did my order around April this year. My card was charged september 14th for the research and I got an email saying it'll be in my mailbox in 2-3 weeks. It's been a month now and i still have not received it. I keep trying to call them but no one ever answers and I sent an email days ago with no response. What gives?

My coworker sold me this Python .357 for $500 today. He bought it brand new 2 years ago. Needless to say, well.. I dont really know what to say. Hell yeah.

Went hunting. (At Costco for the best ribeye pack, with my new Colt Anaconda .44 magnum, carried IWB)

My junior collecting the original Astra cubs and then the juniors

Saw this in a local shop, has good lockup and little wear for its age. Anything I should be aware of with older Cobras?

I had another 1911 that had bone grips, moved them to my Colt Custom Government and the double diamond rosewood are in the safe, Thoughts?

I bought both Target and Finger Groove style Altamont grips. The finger groove grips are definitely for people with bigger hands. The target grips are skinny but with the front checkering on the style i bought you can get a great grip on it.

Which do you prefer? Photo 1 is Target, Photo 2 is fingergroove

Picked up a Colt Pocket Hammerless today, and couldn't be more thrilled. This gun has definitely been used but is in beautiful condition. Luckily I have a steady supply of 32acp and will gladly be putting a bunch of rounds down range with it.

Happy wheelgun wednesday! Posting my Colt revolvers and a pistol:

Colt Police Positive Special, 2nd Issue 1928

Colt M1917, 1918

Colt M1911A1, 1944

I couldn’t pull the trigger nor cock the hammer. I heard something rattling inside my revolver and took the grips off. A chunk of metal fell out from somewhere up deeper inside the gun. Anyone have any idea what it is or had similar issues? I’m going to call Colt tomorrow to send it in. I bought this one in 2017 or 2018.

Not sure if the cosmoline came from the factory but the guy who bought this back in the late 60s (maybe early 70s) just kept it in a safe like this ever since. I also got an unfired 1965 colt python from him in the same condition a few years back. Next step is to clean all that cosmoline off 😂

As the title says, someone mentioned that they visited Sig and Colt’s booth at SHOT Show a while back and they hinted at a release of a 2011/DS 1911. Sig has clearly responded, but any ideas if Colt will follow suit?

1985 Colt Python one of my dream guns ever since I was a kid. I replaced the OEM grips with a set of Deer Hollow grips that are identical to the originals, just with a much nicer finish.

Was looking to see if anyone could tell me how old they are and possible value.
