*LIVE* Colt Trooper MK III .357 Magnum 6" *SOUGHT AFTER NICKEL FINISH MODEL*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis
In the late 1960s, Colt began to be concerned with a decline in its market share because of price increases brought about by the high labor costs inherent in its manufacturing processes. In response, an entirely new product line of revolvers dubbed the MK III series debuted in 1969. Intended to be the first major advancement of Colt’s designs since the beginning of the 20th Century, the MK IIIs used a new ‘J’ frame and had no parts interchangeability with older models. The new revolvers were considered groundbreaking as they were the first modern revolver designs to employ a state-of-the-art transfer-bar lock work system. The sintered parts also allowed for improved fabrication tolerances and could be given a special heat treatment, resulting in a harder, more wear-resistant composition. Using these parts virtually eliminated hand fitting, significantly lowering labor costs associated with the assembly and manufacture of the MK III line.
