Custom & Collectable Firearms will bring a lineup of unique series and artistry to the NBS 2025 Fall Market in Fort Worth, unveiling multiple collaborations with Kimber, Colt, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Faxon, and Horizon Firearms that are certain to capture the attention of collectors and firearms enthusiasts alike.

Leading the showcase is a pistol that embodies both American history and craftsmanship at its finest—the Colt 1911 Government “Independence” (Made from M1 Barrel & Stock). Limited to just 250 sequentially numbered pieces, this release commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Its Damascus steel slide is forged from original M1 Garand barrels—barrels that once served through the frozen mountains of Korea, the jungles of Vietnam, and across the battlefields of World War II. These historic barrels, each carrying the scars and patina of service, are recovered, cleaned, and reborn through a painstaking forging process that layers them with high-performance 15N20 steel. Heated to over 2,000°F, hammered, folded, and drawn out into a flowing pattern reminiscent of the American flag in motion, the result is not just Damascus steel, but a visual tribute to freedom itself.

The connection to the M1 Garand continues with the grips, each crafted from reclaimed Garand stock walnut that once accompanied the very barrels used in the slide. Milled, shaped, and hand-finished, the grips retain the deep patina of decades of oiling and handling, creating a tangible link to the soldiers who once shouldered them. Built on the legendary Colt 1911 frame—a sidearm that has defined American service for over a century—the “Independence” unites two of the most iconic firearms in U.S. history into one heirloom piece. Developed in collaboration with Bligh Guns, this model stands as a leader in the lineup, blending historical reverence with functional excellence in a way that is as symbolic as it is collectible.

Also featured in the lineup:

• Faxon .338 ARC 12.5” Pistol – A compact, precision-focused platform in a FDE finish with a strictly limited run of 338 sequentially numbered builds.
• Smith & Wesson 500 “Emergency Kit” – Black Cerakote finish, stainless bear engraving on one side, and stainless bear claw markings on the other across barrel, cylinder, and frame.
