Can someone give me a price check on the one... I have someone wanting to trade with this and I would feel better with a ballpark price or if someone was interested before hand.... Thanks
...Colt 1911 M1991A1 series 80

500.00 to be safe, looks like it may have some scratching goin on here and there, hard to tell from dark pic, if it was in great cosmetic and mechinacal condition maybe a hundred more, i think series 80 was the one with alot of mim parts? Still a good shooter and a great start for a builder.

Not sure about MIM parts...but series 80 have a firing pin block thanks to the lawyers at Colt

The 1991A1 had both MiM and plastic parts. They are decent to build from those because the frame and slide are forged. Trigger and MSH are plastic and IIRC the rest of the internals were MiM and cast except for a few machined from bar stock.
I have a Commander sized 1991A1 that I had stripped down to the bare frame, slide and barrel then rebuilt with Ed Brown and Cylinder & Slide parts. It's a nice shooter, but I could never get out of it near what I have into it.

Almost forgot, if it's an old roll mark I wouldn't give more than $450-500 particularly since it appears to have had some work done to it by who knows who; if I could verify who did the work it would still depend on how well the work was done. Maybe more, maybe less depending on the work. For a new roll mark gun I'd go another $100 mainly because the NRM guns sell new for more than the ORM guns did because the finish is nicer.
