COLT MKIV SERIES 70 GOVERNMENT MODEL , ORIGINAL NICKEL 99%+ COLLECTOR’S GRADE. Any serious gun collector will tell you that “some handguns- even guns of the same model and finish, just look better than others”. That is absolutely the case with this 47 year-old beauty. This nickel Colt is gorgeous, and it would stop you in your tracks to see it in person.  First introduced in 1970, the MKIV Series 70 is a classic Colt 1911 that holds a prominent place in Colt’s long history of .45 ACP semi-auto pistols. Designed with a newly introduced collet-style barrel bushing for improved accuracy, the Series 70 marked a transitional evolution from the GI-style 1911s, offering enhanced performance and feel. The absence of a firing pin safety and extra linkage gave the Series 70 a clean, crisp trigger, which shooters immediately loved.  The factory nickel-plated models, with their mirror-like finish and roll-marked slides, were marketed as premium variants and are instantly recognizable. When found complete with the original box, manual, and hang tag, these pistols are highly collectible, and extraordinarily difficult to find. If you love older Colts- and you don’t have a near perfect Series 70 nickel in your collection- this is your chance. Ships 100% complete in the original Colt box with the original factory magazine and all paperwork. Don’t hesitate to contact us through GunBroker messaging with any questions at [email protected]
