Looks like the same gun, except ours is in 243, that my dad loaned my son to kill his first buck. That one on GB is pretty clean.

Nice little rifles, I believe the gold colt emblem on dads came off. Can't recall if it is an emblem or sticker.

rider, you need to tell the Messers Russel Quertermous and Steve Quertermous, who edited the 10th edition of the "Modern Guns" book, that you know where two of the Coltsman 223's are. They did provide an out in their forward by saying that, "This is by no means an exhaustive work on all Firearms".

One other piece in the sketchy history about the Colt bolt action rifles, that Colt never produced even one of, also includes the Kodiak Mauser bolt action rifles that were floating around new in the early 1960's and could be found on used gun racks into the 1980's. They were another offshoot of the Jefferson Manu rifles, and some of them had the Coltsman named tagged onto them. Kodiak actually bought Jefferson Manu. Some of the Jefferson/Kodiak rifles of the same time frame also had Montgomery Ward's name on them.

About the only piece of this that I feel fairly certain about is that none of the Coltsman rifles of the 1958-65 era were originally chambered in the yet to be introduced 17 Remington.

Could it have been a Colt Sauer? It would fit the time frame but they didn't make it in 17 Remington according to this page: http://www.coltsauer.com/

Could be I'm completely mistaken. Had that happen once or twice in the last 60 years.
