This Buntline variant pairs a 7.5-inch steel barrel with a flat-top frame and fully adjustable iron sights. The barrel carries a one-line Hartford address and the model rollmark 'NEW FRONTIER BUNTLINE .22,' while the fluted cylinder is rollmarked '.22 L.R.' for clear caliber identification.
Construction is all steel, with a blued cylinder and barrel complemented by a color case-hardened frame and receiver. It is a single-action-only design with a right-side loading gate and a standard Single Action Army-style ejector rod housing.
Sight regulation comes from a ramped front sight and a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight. The black checkered composite grips feature the American Eagle motif and Rampant Colt medallions, matching the flat-top target-style configuration of the New Frontier series.
Chambered in .22 LR with a six-round fluted cylinder, this U.S.-made revolver dates to 1983 within the New Frontier series. Additional period details include the G-prefix serial format on the frontstrap, consistent with factory marking practices of the era.
