That's straight BS.
Like I've said many times, guns are not bottles of wine.
There ARE no "vintages" where you have "good" years or "bad" years.
Great guns get made in "bad" years, and junk gets made in "good" years.
You CANNOT judge a gun based on the year made or the serial number range.
You can make the general statement that guns made years ago had "generally" better quality fit and finish, than guns made more recently.
In guns, you MUST judge each gun on IT'S own merits.
The Government Model with the 70B0 prefix was made in 1981.
The series started at 70B000001, and ended at 70B11246 by the end of the year.
The statement that ALL Colt Government Models made in 1981 are junk is foolish, probably an over the top statement from someone who did get a gun with quality problems.
LOOK at your gun. If it looks OK and shoots OK ......It IS.
The fact that someone else possibly got a gun with problems is mildly interesting, but of absolutely no import to your gun.
