The 3rd Generation New Frontier SAA was made between 1978 and 1983. The serial numbers of the New Frontier started at 01001NF, but in 1980, a few New Frontiers with 5 1/2 inch barrels were produced in the 7000NF serial range, where 2nd Generation New Frontiers had left off. As a result, a 3rd Generation New Frontier will have a serial number that starts with "O" or a number higher than 7288NF with no "O" present.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt New Frontier began with serial number 3000NF, which stayed in the Colt plant. The last of the 2nd Generation New Frontiers was in the 72XXNF serial number range, giving us slightly over 4,000 New Frontiers from 1961 to 1974. Four calibers were made in this first run of Colt Flat-Top Target six guns. These were in chamberings of .45 Colt, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .44 Special. According to Colt expert Don Wilkerson, the .38 Special is the rarest, followed by the .44 Special. Less than 100 .45 cal. New Frontier Buntlines were also produced.
In 1978, The New Frontier returned to production with the 3rd Generation Colt Single Action Army. Serial numbers began at 01001NF, using five digits instead of four. In the last, and according to Colt, the final run of New Frontiers, calibers were .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, and .44-40. All the 2nd Generation New Frontiers were standardized with a finish of bright blue except for the case-hardened frame. The 3rd Generation New Frontiers are in full blue and nickel finishes, including nickel-plated Buntline New Frontiers in .45 Colt, .44 Special, and .44-40. The .44-40 was available in the short barrel length of 4 3/4″, but according to our research, there may not have been any .44 Specials offered in this length.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
