The Colt BOA Returns After 40 Years Through CNC Firearms

The Colt BOA is again. Custom and Collectable Firearms has been working with Colt for 3 years to carry it again, and the official announcement is popping out of the 2026 NRA Annual Conferences in Houston. The final time a BOA was produced was 1985, and this isn’t a clone or a tribute piece. Each revolver on this run is a 100% manufacturing unit Colt firearm.

The BOA has at all times been the rarest of the Colt snake weapons. The unique 1985 run was restricted sufficient that almost all collectors have solely ever seen one in pictures. It sits above the Python, the Cobra, the Diamondback, and the remaining when it comes to shortage, which is precisely what has pushed the demand for a return for many years. CNC Firearms is protecting that exclusivity intact. This isn’t a mass manufacturing run, which suggests the long-term collectability stays intact for consumers who care about that, and given what unique BOAs commerce for, that may be a significant consideration.

Each variants are chambered in .357 Magnum with a 6-round double and single motion configuration, Santos rosewood grips with a gold Colt pony medallion, brass bead entrance sight, and a blued end. The blued end is the precise name for a collector piece of this nature. Every ships in a particular version customized Colt field designed particularly for this launch, which provides to the presentation for anybody shopping for this as a long-term maintain.
