This is my first post and great to have other shooters with knowledge to answer some tuff questions. This is my first Colt, it is a Gold Cup National Match MK/IV / Series 70 serial #70N23060. I would like to know what year this particular model was produced and what to expect from it (problem wise)
if any. It is just as it came from the factory, with the exception of being shoot, Lord knows how many times! Gun is clean and I would rate it at 90%
when I get it cleaned up, and I am very anul about my weapons. I have about $800.00 in it counting transfer fees and a box of MagTec 230 grn FMJ.

Thanks in advance.
