What’s Included
- Colt Frontier Scout F-suffix .22 LR revolver
The Frontier Scout follows the Colt SAA pattern with a single-action mechanism, a spurred hammer with a checkered spur, and a right-side loading gate. It uses a six-shot fluted cylinder in .22 LR and a right-side ejector with a crescent head for case extraction. The base pin is retained by a transverse slotted screw, consistent with this series.
Construction combines a silver-finished aluminum-alloy frame and receiver with a blued steel barrel and cylinder, creating a durable duotone configuration. The 4.75" barrel length is a classic Frontier Scout format, balancing handling and sight radius.
Markings include "COLT SINGLE ACTION FRONTIER SCOUT .22 L.R." on the barrel along with the Colt Hartford address. As an F-suffix series revolver manufactured in 1960, it reflects early-1960s production details that appeal to collectors of Colt rimfire single-actions.
Sights are fixed, with a blade front and a topstrap notch rear. Smooth glossy wood grip panels (without medallions) complete the period-correct profile and complement the lightweight alloy frame.
