Colt Historical Letters

Has anyone in here done one recently? Curious how long it takes.

I picked up this Gen 1 Colt Single Action Army made in 1901 chambered in 41 Colt. From what I can tell only 4.6% of production was in this caliber. Curious about the history. Wondering if it’s worth the wait

My last one took about 3 weeks. They have expedited service but it’s pricey

Yes, it's worth it!!!

If you do the regular service it’s usually 4-6 months.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Best I know, the Frontier Model is always associated with the 44-40 cartridge

From what I have read the original frontier was chambered in 44-40. New frontier in Gen 2-3 were other various calibers

New Frontier is an adjustable sight pistol. So I looked this stuff up. The Frontier model was available in other cartridges. It's the only way I ever saw it. Also the only way I ever saw one was with a 5 1/2" barrel. The real thing is that it's compatible with the Winchester 1873 rifle

It IS worth the wait and the money. Much faster and cheaper than Smith. You will never regret it and hopefully your kids and grandkids will appreciate it even more.
