The Colt Ace was a 1911 chambered in .22. Basically a pistol made to practice with, but was a true 1911, in .22. From what I have heard, a hood majority of Colt parts are interchangeable. Not 100% sure on the Ace frame #'s, but it could be worth more if it was rare. I'm not that knowledgable about Colts to tell you, but Andy @ Blackwing could tell ya.

Yes it could be worth more if rare, i've called colt only to sit on hold and be told to call archives on Wed which I have done and left messages with no call backs.

 

This is a Service Model Ace Frame with a 45acp 70 Series Slide/Action.

 

There is basically no way to tell if the gun was shipped this way or its a conversion kit.

 

Either way I know the gun was shipped in 1982. It also shoots awesome!

 

Anyone interested? Going on gunbroker soon.

I believe the frame was produced in 1980 based off of similar models serial range at the time around when you say it was shipped. Also found a few questions in my search of people asking value and production date of guns with close serials to yours.

I know the upper is a 45acp. What i really want to know is if Colt shipped this gun as a .22 or .45. That makes the big difference in what its worth really. Either way its a nice shooting gun.

 

Anyone interested for $800
