I guess we brought out the Spartans.
The only other thing I can say, as I often do, is Caveat Emptor. Always a good policy.![]()
wow, i sold a set of elliason sights to a forum member last year for around 45 dollars shipped. i guess he owes me around a hundred bucks now![]()
e-bay must have changed its policy I tried to list a choke tube and they removed my listing because they said it fired the shell. Now I see barrels listed!

LOL!!!! Good One!!!
Where's threecharley at? I would love to see his reply to this thread! LOL
OK, I guess I will do my duty since no one else has... OK to start with wolfbait, do you realize this is the same as Vikrant, Coltboxman/Boxman, blovit that sells all the repop boxes??? I will give you the 2 reasons he has perfect feedback. #1 is MOST DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE BUYING REPRODUCTIONS! I will admit I was taken by one of his phony packages at a gun show but they did beat the box up and rough up the label/fade the ink out. Until I came to this great forum, I was very nieve myself when it came to his TRASH, sorry use this word but this is exactly what I feel it is. #2 Reason he has perfect feedback is as follows: When questioned about his items being original, he uses these statements (sent personally from him to me): I buy Vintage Colt Products all over the USA where ever I can find them so I cannot say for certain that it is an original factory item, however I can tell you I own many Boxed Colts and when compared to mine it looks exactly the same so I do believe it to be but cant say for certain. I will ship to you and when you receieve if you believe it not to be original just ship back and I will cover all costs. Then when you ship back he even gives you a couple extra bucks to play on your guilt about leaving negative feedback because he knows all of us Gun Guys are some of the best/nicest people in the world. This transaction hear I speak of, I did not leave negative feedback BUT now wish I would have. I did put in my note that the Python Manual was a REPRODUCTION but seller quickly refunded money plus shipping costs. He then contacted me BEGGING me if I would take this off because he did tell me that he wasnt certain it was original and made out like he was taken also by the guy he bought off so he was fooled also. Yeah this guy is a real slithering slick type, a true con-man. Of Course I didnt change anything but should have put what I really did think and will in the future. I do have a feeling and hope he will be shut down before long as alot of people have been complaining. If you want to buy from him by all means go ahead, just please do try to convince others to be decieved by him, Thank You Sir and Have A Good Day!

I shoot 2 Pythons regularly, and at 61 with bad eyes getting worse a sight like this could help me a little. Using Vista's snipping tool I took a closer look and here's part of the overhead shot.

Is that congealed grease or lint? I use my grandmothers' cast iron cookware everyday and not a piece of it is that rough. Even on the bottom.
Well I for one think that these are the Kensight re-productions that can be bought from there site for 59.95; they offer both the Accro and the Elliason.
The sight pictured on E-bay sure looks cast to me and a COLT sight is not flat on the front side it curves fwd slightly.
He's asking $110.00. This ain't right IMO.
