What’s Included
- Colt Frontier Scout F-Series .22 LR revolver
The F-Series designation, denoted by the F-suffix serial range, places this revolver among Colt’s early 1960s Frontier Scout production. This example dates to 1961 and retains the classic fixed-sight configuration and six-shot fluted cylinder that define the model.
The revolver uses an aluminum alloy frame with a dark anodized finish, matched to a blued steel barrel and cylinder for a cohesive all-blue appearance. With a 4.75 inch barrel and an approximate weight of 23–24 oz, it offers a handy, well-balanced profile.
Mechanically, it is single-action only with an exposed hammer and traditional ejector-rod housing on the right side. The cylinder holds six rounds of .22 LR and features flutes consistent with the Frontier Scout pattern.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed front blade and an integral topstrap rear groove. Factory rollmarks include the top-of-barrel address and the "COLT SINGLE ACTION FRONTIER SCOUT 22 LR." model marking.
Grip panels are black checkered composition with Colt medallions. A scroll engraving on the bottom of the grip frame (butt) adds a distinctive touch to this United States-made, 1960s-era Colt rimfire.
