DO NOT FK WITH THE GUNS YOURSELF< TAKE THEM TO A GUNSMITH TO DO A PROPER JOB. Filing the front sight, are U outa your frinkin mind, you want to make it into a $100 gun just go ahead and do the things Jeff said to do.

The value lies in ORGINAL factory condition and the closer to NEW the more valuable.

I have never paid much attention to Rugers, simply because they are beneath me, they were always considered to be low cost "Everyman" type of guns...Well NOT ANYMORE..they are on the come Collectably wise.

The Frontier Scout, because it says Colt on the side is worth sumthin, it really is not very high in the pecking order of Colt collectabilty.

Both guns are worth having, both enjoy a modicum of value which will increase as time goes by. I think the Ruger is the better of the 2 though, and DO NOT do the Transfer Bar Mod....the value is in the orginal state of the gun, U would kill the collectabilty of the gun if it is done.
