Forty years of waiting ends with this Wheelgun Wednesday, as the CNC Firearms x Colt's Manufacturing Company BOA collaboration is officially unveiled. Originally introduced in 1985 as a limited run, the BOA never had the chance to become common. Among serious collectors, it occupies a rare position in Colt's history, defined not by how many were made, but by how few. Production remains true to the original 1985 offering, with each revolver manufactured as a 100% factory Colt firearm. Available in 4.25-inch and 6-inch barrel lengths, each revolver features Santos rosewood grips with a gold Colt pony medallion, a brass bead front sight, and a blued finish chambered in .357 Magnum. I don’t think I ever aimed down a brass bead sight, but here’s your chance for $1,999.99. Every piece ships in a special edition custom Colt box, designed exclusively to commemorate the BOA release. As passionate collectors themselves, CNC Firearms understood the importance of getting this right. For the last three years, the team worked closely with Colt to faithfully bring this historic firearm back to life. The project will not be mass-produced. That decision is intentional, reinforcing the exclusivity and long-term collectability that made the original BOA matter in the first place. This is expected to be one of the most important Colt releases in many years, and it is exclusively distributed and managed by CNC Firearms. A question arises. Do you prefer your revolvers to have a longer or shorter barrel than your Cubans? While the return of the BOA stands as the defining moment of this year's presentation, CNC Firearms continues to push the boundaries of craftsmanship with additional limited releases, exclusive series, and fully customized offerings. Each one is built to elevate engraving, finishing, and overall artistry while blending performance with collectability in a way that serious enthusiasts recognize immediately. The BOA earned its place in Colt history by being rare; only 1,200 were ever made. Regardless of its rarity, the more I look at the 4.25” version, the more I want one.
