The Return of the Colt BOA Exceeds Expectations | Pre-Order Window Closed

Custom & Collectable Firearms (CNC Firearms) and Colt's Manufacturing Company would like to thank collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts nationwide for the overwhelming response to the return of the Colt BOA revolver.

Due to unprecedented demand following the official unveiling at the 2026 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, CNC Firearms is no longer accepting direct orders for the Colt BOA. In just five days, demand exceeded CNC Firearms & Colt's expectations.

As originally promised, the Colt BOA will remain a true limited-edition offering and will not enter mass production. Preserving the exclusivity, collectability, and long-term significance of the BOA has remained a central focus throughout the project's development.

All available inventory has now been allocated through authorized CNC Firearms dealers and select industry distributors. Customers interested in securing a Colt BOA are encouraged to contact their preferred local firearm retailer or an authorized CNC Firearms dealer, who can be found on CNC Firearms' dealer locator at www.cncfirearms.com/cnc-dealer-locator-page

Authorized distributor partners carrying the Colt BOA include:

  • Sports South
  • Orion Wholesale
  • Chattanooga
  • Iron Valley
  • Nation's Best Sports
  • Camfour
  • Lipsey's
  • Davidson's

Dealers may request allocation directly through their distributor representatives based on available inventory and future shipment schedules.

The Colt BOA marks one of the most significant modern Colt revolver releases in recent history. Faithfully recreated from the original 1985 configuration, each revolver is manufactured as a 100% factory Colt firearm and offered in limited quantities in both 4.25-inch and 6-inch barrel configurations chambered in .357 Magnum.

CNC Firearms remains honored by the support and enthusiasm surrounding this historic release and looks forward to continuing to deliver exclusive collector-grade firearms and limited-edition projects in partnership with leading manufacturers across the industry.
