Nickel Colt 1903

Fuelburns2 · Oct 28, 2006

I won an auction for a nickel Colt 1903 Hammerless .32acp. This particular gun was produced in 1905 and was refinished by Fords. It comes with both these beautiful grips and the original black Colt grips. Don't ask how I paid for it. :? I think it was worth the sacrifices made though.

Very, very big time congrats on this. This just may be the crown on your collection, thus far. :wink:

Just got a call earlier that it came in. I'll pick it up tomorrow after work.

Thing's a beauty....

what do you intend to do with it?

Fuelburns2 · Nov 8, 2006

Thanks. Its more for very occasional shooting and to add to the collection than CCW or target practice. I just had to have it when I first saw it.

tenmilli-master · Nov 8, 2006

Lol. I would too.

Hi, I'm brand new here and think your 1903 is FANTASTIC!

I'm waiting on my Type III to show-up Tue. or Wed.

Where might a guy find a set of grips and a spare mag?

Fuelburns2 · Nov 24, 2007

For grips you may want to check Gunbroker.com and you may be able to get mags there as well. If not I'm sure Numrich Gun Parts has mags.

My shooting partner, bless his heart, has been bitten by the 1903 bug, and as we're going into the 5th year or so of a never ending 1903alogue, I am most interested in helping him find one so maybe he will buy one, smoke a cigarette, and talk about something other than 1903 colts and how I can't do a trigger job to save my butt, (he's just jealous, if you ever need a Swedish Mauser trigger smoothed liken to a baby's posterior, holler, but I digress. He is looking for a plain old blued shooter. any suggestions ?
Thanks

Oh, PS and all that, I'm not even a major fan of the 03, but these two are about enough to accomplish a conversion. Beauteful pieces.

Sir colt Hammerless 32 ACp 1903 and 380 Acp 1908 are the best pistol are ever made. Its the dream pistol for any body else.
