Product Description

Colt Woodsman Match Target Third Series .22 LR, 4.5 in Heavy Barrel – Late 1960's to Early 1970's High-Polish Blue Rimfire Pistol Produced in the late 1960's or early 1970's, this Third-Series Colt Woodsman Match Target pairs a 4.5-inch slab-sided heavy barrel with Colt’s deep, mirror-polish blue finish. The forward-weighted “Short Bull” barrel, fully adjustable target sights, and checkered walnut thumb-rest stocks make it a purpose-built rimfire for timed-fire accuracy. Condition Overall Condition: Very good – light, superficial handling marks only. Bore Condition: Excellent – clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear. Rifling Condition: Excellent – sharp lands and grooves.

Specific Condition Notes: Minor surface scratches and small blemishes are present on the high-polish blue finish. The bore remains bright and exceptionally clean. What’s Included Colt Woodsman Match Target Third Series pistol No magazine is provided The heavy, relief-cut barrel shifts weight forward, reducing muzzle rise and helping the shooter stay on target during rapid strings. Combined with the crisp single-action trigger, the design delivers consistent shot placement. This Third-Series variant re-introduced the heel-type magazine catch and deleted the earlier grip-adapter hardware, reflecting Colt’s evolution toward simpler ergonomics while preserving Match Target accuracy.

Colt’s high-polish blue of this era is widely regarded as a benchmark finish for collectible American pistols, and the mirror quality on this example highlights the deep rollmarks and sharp edges. Target-grade sights include an integral Patridge-style ramp front and a fully adjustable Accro-style rear, giving the shooter precise control over elevation and windage adjustments without aftermarket parts.
