What’s Included
- Great Western Arms Co. Frontier Six Shooter .22 Rimfire revolver
Manufactured in the United States during the 1950s–1960s, this Frontier Six Shooter represents Great Western Arms Co.'s postwar effort to deliver an American-made Single Action Army–pattern revolver. The configuration and markings align with the brand's hallmark features from the period.
The revolver is chambered in .22 Rimfire and uses a six-shot fluted cylinder. It operates in single-action, true to the classic design, and loads via a right-side gate. The ejector-rod housing features a crescent head for traditional operation.
Its 5.5-inch barrel pairs with fixed sights: a blade front and a topstrap groove rear. This setup mirrors the traditional sight picture of the era and keeps the profile clean and period-correct.
External details include a smooth one-piece wood grip and the barrel rollmark "GREAT WESTERN ARMS CO." These period identifiers and the overall configuration give the revolver strong mid-century character consistent with its production era.
