What's Included
- Colt Frontier Scout '62 .22 LR revolver
Built in 1964 in the United States, this Colt Frontier Scout '62 is a single-action-only rimfire revolver with a six-shot fluted cylinder and a 4.75 in barrel. It is a P-suffix Frontier Scout '62 series example, aligning with the period features and markings for this model.
The barrel and cylinder are steel with a high-polish blued finish, while the frame and receiver are zinc-aluminum alloy (Zamak) in Colt's glossy 'Midnight Blue'/black finish. This pairing delivers the classic Colt two-tone look of the Frontier Scout '62 line.
Sights are fixed, with a half-moon blade up front and a topstrap groove/notch at the rear. It features an exposed hammer and an ejector-rod housing on the right side, staying true to the Frontier Scout format in operation and layout.
Factory synthetic Staglite grips, styled to simulate stag and capped with Colt medallions, complete the period configuration. Markings include the barrel roll-mark 'FRONTIER SCOUT '62 .22 CAL.', the top barrel address 'COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO.
HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.', and a cylinder marking of '.22 LR.' A decorative scroll motif appears on the butt of the grip frame.
