Colt ~ Coltsman ~ .243

Description:
The "Coltsman" Rifle was the "New Model and Name" for the Colt "57" line of High Power Rifles, and were announced in late 1958. The Coltsman line featured four different calibers of rifle in three models designated as "Standard, Deluxe, and Custom." None of these guns were actually made by Colt. They were assembled on barreled actions furnished by Firearms International, Inc., in Washington, D.C. to Jefferson Manufacturing Company of North Haven, Connecticut. The .30-06 and .300 Magnum were FN Mauser Model 300 Actions from Belgium and the .243 Winchester and .308 Winchester calibers were on Barreled Actions from Sako/Finland on L-57, (Medium) actions. This series of Coltsman rifles was manufactured beginning in early 1959 and the entire production was completed before the end of that year. Sales were extremely slow and this run of rifles provided Inventory until 1962 when some models had finally been completely sold, leaving some models unavailable to the buyer of that time.
