I have a really nice Colt MK IV 70 series that I'm think about sending to Colt's Custom shop to have some work done on.
I checked the serial # (70 G72**6 ) and found it was made in 1974 so now my question is would it be a mistake to send this one out for custom work ?
Are these early Mk IV 70 series guns collectible ? Would I be better off to keep it original and find another 1911 for the custom work .
The gun is in very good condition about 85%-90% (not going to sell it) any one have a idea what these early 70 series guns go for ?
I know the new guns have been built to feed hollow points out of the box any idea if Colt was doing the same ramp work on the early 70 series guns ?
Thanks guys for any help .
