Colt Python Restoration

PKAY · February 5, 2001, 01:40 PM

I purchased a Colt Python (6" bbl., Royal Blue) mfg. in 1980 from a pawn shop a couple of years ago. The gun is about 85-90%, but the price was quite reasonable. I would like to restore this arm to 100% condition, especially since it is not on the CA DOJ list of approved firearms and cannot be purchased in this state except through a private transfer. Does anyone know if Colt will re-blue in Royal Blue and what they might charge? You can't email those folks, and Customer Service is "out to lunch."

Got through to Colt Customer Service. They will do the job for $200.
