SCW0921 Sub-Compact Weapon

There is an SCW0921 for auction on Gun Broker. Since these weapons are almost never seen, I downloaded the eight auction pictures for use here on the website. You can see the eight photographs here: https://thecoltar15resource.com/scw0921-sub-compact-weapon/

Colt 1965 Product Trifold and 2013 Retail 20-Round Magazine

I’m back with a small update today. I have added images of the Colt AR-15 items in the 1965 product trifold and images of a Colt 2013 20-round magazine in retail packaging. The trifold images can be found in the ‘catalog’ section and the magazine images are in the ‘magazines’ section.

Colt Arms Unlimited MK12 HBAR

I’m looking at buying one of the Colt MK12 HBARs from Arms Unlimited. In the process of trying to learn more about it, I came across this article done by the good folks at http://www.looserounds.com. The article discusses the CR6724 Colt Accurized Rifle which has a 24″ 1/9 stainless steel barrel.

The Arms Unlimited MK12 rifles have stainless steel 1/9 barrels. Knowing that these rifles were made exclusively for Arms Unlimited, I have the feeling that the 18″ barrels on the AU MK12 are left over barrels from the Colt Accurized Rifle. Anyway, I hope to have details for you very soon as work on finalizing the purchase of one of AU MK12 rifles. In the meantime, check out Looserounds article on the old CR6724 rifle here: http://looserounds.com/2017/11/01/colt-accurized-rifle-hbar-elite-cr6724-part-1/

Colt Z-COTE Limited Edition

The limited edition Colt Z-COTE series of weapons are a not well known chapter in Colts storied firearm history. I have added a section to the site today with some information that has been gathered. If you have any photos of weapons or accessories that were part of the ‘Z-COTE’ series I would be grateful if you shared them. You can email me at editor@thecoltar15resource.com.

This is a screen capture from a video that shows all three Z-COTE firearms. Link to the video is in the Z-COTE section here.
