A faithful retro rebuild of the original Colt prototypes, of which only three were ever made, and this is no clone. We’ve cut and re-welded receivers, bolt carriers, and mags to match the original concept. Brass forming and reloading dies are in the works. Ammunition options are evolving. The imperfections are deliberate and real, just like the originals. This is a resurrected design built for the shooter who respects the history of innovation.”
