The bluing is very nice but they are clearly Ubertis. To be clear the guns made from 1971 through 1976 were the C series. Here is a very short summary of the history of the Colt 2nd Gen BP guns taken from the American Rifleman. Or better yet, the long hunter premier manufactured in house. If I had it to do over again, I’d spend the money on long hunter ubertis and not look back. Every nipple recess is a different depth, arbor is too short like the rest of ubertis, my loading lever even snapped off while loading. They look beautiful, but mine have been nothing but trouble. That being said, before Colorado Coffinmaker accuses me of being a coltist, I now believe that colt never intended these guns to be fired. The blueing and case coloring is hands down better than anything uberti has ever put out. But the assembly, case coloring, finishing, and blueing was all done in house by Colt. Its true colt contracted out barrels, frames, and possibly cylinders, though I’m not certain on that as the latter uses different size balls than uberti. Is my Jeep made in the USA if it’s assembled here from some parts in Japan and elsewhere? I guess that depends on your definition of made. They compare well with current Ubertis because they were made from Uberti parts that were finished by contractors in the U.S. (1970s and 1980s) Colt sold a whole line of reproductions.
