I will assume that you meant to say buntline.

Sorry, I have not had the need for that information.

Why??

Making a stock, perhaps?

Probably but you never know

Colt used to sell a 6 shot .22 revolver with a 12" barrel. It was called a buntline.

A friend in Pennsylvania owned one.

The stocks should be the same between the Buntline and the SAA.

Funny thing…Wiki doesn’t mention a .22 Buntline. Only .45 Colt and .357. But that’s Wiki, so who knows?

Well, since we know he's never going to be bothered posting any proof...

And that’s why Wiki is the worst source on the planet for facts.👍

But…is it a Buntline…..or a Frontier Scout that everyone just calls a Buntline? Inquiring minds are curious, but don’t really care very much.

Well I would put all my fucks in one basket and hazard a guess, but my basket appears to be empty...

It’s a Frontier Scout. I have also heard them called Frontier Scout Buntline, but I do not think that was an official Colt name for it.

Well according to Bruce Buckner and the Colt forum, there were two distinct lines. The Frontier Scout and the Buntline Scout. Both had 22LR and .22mag offerings starting in 1959. The Frontier and Buntline Scouts were smaller than the actual Buntline repro of 1957 and eventually came with two cylinders for 22LR and 22mag. The Frontier Scout only came with a 4.75" barrel and the Buntline Scout only came with a 9.5" barrel.

I have it bookmarked if anyone wants to read it. This guy, Bruce, compiled the complete history of the Colt .22 SAA line from 1957 until 1986 when production ceased.
