Colt Shotgun

[Mlee]

I have a friend whose grandfather had a Colt shotgun and the barrel fell in a swamp. He is looking for a spare. Does anybody know anything about a Colt shotgun? Could another brand possibly interchange? He said it looked like a Franchi. I didn't know Colt made a shotgun. But I told him somebody here would! Thanks for your help.

Best post this down on Harley's forum and/or the Smithy. TTBOMK, the last Colt shotgun was made pre 1900.

Mlee:
You are correct, the Colt Auto Shotguns were made by Luigi Franchi from 1964-1966. There are indications that the Colt Shotguns were similar to the Franchi; but I cannot say the bbl will enterchange however there is a strong possibility. May I suggest that you go to:



SEARCH:
Gunparts or Numerich Arms on the internet. They have parts for the Franchi, however, my catalog does not list Colt along with it.
