Anyone have an opinion on this situation? My friend has a beautiful Colt Duotone Frontier (model that was mix of the blue and an alloy frame), I would easily rate it 9/10 from a conservative view. It is a real duotone, I have checked on the serial number and it has the correct suffix. It is a 4 3/4" barrel and original black grips. He wants to sell it and is asking $500 for it. Is that a reasonable price or is this top dollar?

He is also interested in selling it as a combo with a Colt Colteer 4-22 (semi tube fed), that also has what appears to be a duotone finish as well? The receiver has the same alloy finish on the receiver and barrel bands as the frontier with blued barrel/magazine tube. This one has been a little harder to find information on. I have seen pics of plenty of the colteers but I have never seen one that looks like this. As a combo, he wants $800.

What are your thoughts?? I coming to the best Colt minds for some feedback. Does anyone know if the colteer has a legitimate finish or has this thing been bubba'd? Would you buy both or just one, if so which?

Thanks for any information or opinions!!

Ohh and the finish/condition on the colteer is also a 9/10. I'm really tempted because the two look like they were made as a set for each other. They are like a perfect match in terms of their appears and style.

I assumed that was the case regarding the colteer but this thing does not look like it has been modified at all. It truly looks factory but I just can't seem to find any information that supports the finish combination on it. Thanks for your reply!

Here are the pics of the colteer. With the unusual finish.

This is the frontier duotone. These are pics of the actual firearms not random stock photos or anything.

I agree with everyone's analysis on the deal. I appreciate all the comments and information. I think I'm going to pass on the deal. Apparently he has an offer on the revolver which is the main piece I was interested in. I'm really craving a .22 revolver and would prefer a colt to be added to my collection. So I guess I'll keep looking! Thanks again. If anyone does come along and has information on the colteer feel free to leave it!
