The Flat Top Target revolver is one of the most handsome
single-action revolvers that Colt ever produced. Fewer than a
thousand were made and most of these were delivered before WWI. The
survivors are rare and valuable, seldom seen and shot even less.
This particular Flat Top is a modern recreation made from a Colt New
Frontier model. The receiver was welded up and remachined to match
the original contours. New sights were fabricated and genuine Colt
hard rubber grips were fitted. The custom cylinder and barrel are
for the wonderful .32-20 cartridge, a favorite at Bowen Classic
Arms. Prior to final finishing, the exterior was hand filed and
detailed, then polished and burnished. Like the standard catalog
Target models, this recreation is all carbona blue except for the
trigger, screws and pins which are nitred.
