A not often seen Colt Trooper

[Bill99]

That's a beautiful 22, how does it shoot? Compared to others ? Love my k22, would love to try that one out at the range.

No idea,it's a safe queen.It does not appear to have ever been fired.

How about the Trooper in 22 magnum, rare or common?

[JBinIll]

Old model Trooper,I've never seen one catalogued in the Colt catalogs I have.Trooper Mk 3,common,I've had 3 at different times.

[da gimp]

have never heard of one in .22mag........... I'd want a factory letter before buying one..................... just saying, have seen more than a few "rare guns" created........................ & it's daam hard to get your money back..................

My 22 magnum was produced in 1979.

That's a Trooper MkIII,fairly common,I've owned 3,one bought new.The old model Troopers are an entirely different handgun.The Mk III line of Colt's were designed to be mostly machine made with very little hand fitting using a coil spring mainspring.

Thanks JB I appreciate the info. I picked it up a few years back knowing nothing about it except it was NIB. Any idea on market value?
Thanks
