Introducing the Great Western Arms Co Single Action Army Revolver: A piece of history and craftsmanship, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of Western-style firearms. This particular model, chambered in .22 LR, replicates the iconic Colt Single Action Army, offering a blend of historical allure and practical shooting capabilities.
The overall condition of this revolver is fair, with signs of extensive use and handling. Notably, it has been refinished and is missing its ejector rod assembly, and the cylinder hold does not work, allowing it to freely rotate clockwise. Despite these issues, the revolver maintains a clean bore with fair rifling, showing slight corrosion and loss of definition.
This revolver was crafted by the Great Western Arms Co, a company renowned for their quality firearms and role in outfitting various film studios, enhancing its collectible value. Manufactured between 1954 and 1964 in the United States, it features a distinctive coin finish—a bright, nickel plating that adds to its visual appeal, alongside faux deer antler grips that enhance its authentic Western look.
The .22 LR caliber is perfect for affordable target shooting and small game hunting, making this revolver not only a collector's item but also a practical choice for recreational shooting. The included black leather holster and gun belt complete the package, providing an attractive display option and added value.
