** SOLD ** Colt Diamondback Double Action Revolver in .22 LR Caliber **Rimfire Snake Gun - Mfg 1981 - Minty**

Description:
Here we have a very nice Colt Diamondback double action revolver in .22 long rifle caliber. The Colt Diamondback is a revolver manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, in calibers of .22 LR and .38 Special. Inspired by the successful Colt Python, the Diamondback was manufactured from 1966 to 1988 and was available in barrel lengths of 2½, 4, and 6 inches. Colt introduced the double-action Diamondback as a deluxe model in 1966. It has a wide serrated target hammer, ventilated rib, fully adjustable target quality sights, and full-length barrel underlug. It is a 6-shot revolver with a swing-out cylinder and was available in blue or nickel finishes. Visually, the Diamondback resembles a scaled-down version of the Python, though the action was not tuned as finely as the Python, nor did it receive the Python's Royal Blue finish. While the Python is built on Colt's "I frame," the Diamondback is built on the smaller "D frame," as used in the Detective Special. The Diamondback was dropped from production in 1988. This particular example is in very good condition exhibiting light handling and use marks. The action is tight and locks up very tightly in the "fired" condition which is where it is most important. The cylinder has light turn rings. The barrel has a good bore with strong rifling. Sights are a blade front and adjustable rear. The hammer has sharp serrations. The grips are Pachmayr Presentation hard rubber. This fine Colt snake gun would make a great addition to a collection and a good investment.
