1959 Colt Single Action Frontier Scout .22 Magnum Revolver, 4 3/4 in. barrel.
Description: 1959 Colt Single Action Frontier Scout .22 Mag. Revolver. 4 3/4 in. barrel. This revolver is from my personal Colt collection. I am not a dealer. Price is: $815 Description: SN 91079, mfg. 1959, Description: Overall condition is barely used-excellent, noting a very slight drag line on the underside of the barrel caused by the ejector, and a small rub on the left barrel tip from box contact or a holster, see photos for condition. Bore and cylinder is clean and bright, and all Colt markings are clear. There is no rust or abuse. The revolver is in excellent plus mechanical condition. Barrel markings: Left side “Colt Single Action Frontier Scout .22 Magnum’ Colt marked box & paperwork, The Colt cardboard box is correct for the revolver, but not the serial number. It is the correct box in all respects and boxes are hard to find and bring a premium when present, even if not matching the serial number. The paperwork is typically found in this box with the revolver. Form FS-1000 History of the Frontier .22 Magnum revolver: In 1959, the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) chambering was added to the Frontier Scout and Buntline Scout lines. It is interesting to note that Colt never marked its .22 single-action revolvers with 'WMR' or 'Winchester Magnum Rimfire'. The marking used was always ‘.22 Magnum’. Because of the differences between the .22 LR and .22 Magnum cartridges, barrels for the latter had to be bored to different dimensions. The barrels were not interchangeable so, in order to facilitate identification by assemblers, barrels bored for the .22 Magnum were finished with a rounded crown. The crown on the .22 LR barrels remained flat. The guns were shipped from the factory in two-piece cardboard boxes with a top covered in a brown wood grain paper and the Colt logo in gold. The inside of the box was lined with green paper and had Colt logos in gold. See photos for this revolver. Later boxes lined with black paper did not have the logo on the inside bottom. An instruction sheet or booklet and warranty card were always included with the revolver. Serial numbers were usually marked on the outside bottom of the boxes in black marker. Later boxes with black bottoms had the serial number written in white marker. Later, in 1964, Colt introduced the 'dual cylinder' Frontier Scout revolvers which were designed to fire the .22 LR or .22 Magnum cartridges by merely changing the cylinder in the gun. These guns had barrels bored for the .22 Magnum chambering and were marked '.22 CAL'. The dual-cylinder guns were shipped in a special tan two-piece box with a cut-out in the bottom for the revolver and for the accessory .22 Magnum cylinder. A small label was affixed to the end of the box stating the finish (blue) and the two calibers. In 1969, the .22 Magnum was discontinued as a specific caliber.
