I was thinking early Savage because the front of the bolt looks similar to the late model Savage B22 I own.Yes, Colt Colteer model 1. Yes, Colt manufactured this model from 1957-1966. It was sold under the Colt name, but, also, under Sears and Roebuck, Wards and others. This was a 'mostly alloy' firearm and did not fair well. The alloy receiver parts would wear down to cause many problems. One of the more specific was the accidental firing when the safety was released. ( this must have been an embarrassment to Colt ) These guns are selling as collectables in the $300 range. Unless you are a collector of gun parts, gunpartscorp.com ' Numrich", will most likely buy it from you.
I doubt I,ll fire mine enough to get any wear or break anything. Now If I break a firing pin next time out I know who to thank.Scooter22. You might consider grabbing it from hutchinsonrd if he will let go of it.
I was thinking Scooter22 might let his whole rifle go minus the bolt.Scooter22. You might consider grabbing it from hutchinsonrd if he will let go of it.
Revelation was sold by Western Auto stores. It was their name brand which they sold guns under.The Colteer was and is my first rifle. I inherited it from my grandfathers estate in 1961. It was given to him as a thankyou for all the work he did with the threshing crew when the old thresher was retired and replaced by a combine. Mine is marked Hawthorne (Monkey Wards). I don't shoot it a lot but it is really a great plinker for a fun afternoon at the range. The only issue is the front sight fell off, it's pot metal and glued on. I have a small scope on it now. I added a 2nd rifle a couple of years ago. It had the rear of the firing pin flared out so it would not fire. Quick work with a file fixed that. It's marked Revelation. (Gambles Store).
