I am working on a listing of all my extra Colt Woodsman parts, including magazines, slides, barrels, grips, and miscellaneous small parts. So far the listing is complete only for magazines, slides, and barrels. The other parts, as well as related paraphernalia, will be added here as soon as I can get the web pages constructed. Sorry, but due to numerous complex restrictions,
I CANNOT SHIP GUN PARTS OUTSIDE THE USA.
COLT WOODSMAN PARTS
First Series Barrels First Series Slides First Series Magazines First Series Grips: Coming soon
Second/Third Series Barrels Second/Third Series Slides Second/Third Series Magazines Second/Third Series Grips: Coming soon
Various Small Parts: All Models and All Series: Coming soon
Boxes, Papers, Tools, Advertisements, etc.: All Models and All Series: Coming soon
To select the part you need, you must first determine whether your Colt .22 auto is a First, Second, or Third series, and in some cases you will need to know which model it is. You can open a new link to see how to determine those things by clicking on Series and Models. You can return here by simply closing the newly opened link.
Many changes were made in the Woodsman line over the 62 years of production, and parts from one time period or model often will not interchange with those from a different time period or different model. Sometimes the parts will interchange, and will work just fine, but will not be exactly the same and may differ in markings, etc. That is important to collectors, but usually is not a major concern to someone who is just trying to get an old gun back in shooting condition. My descriptions will normally specify which model a part is "correct" for and also which models it is compatible with.

MY ONLINE BOOK STORE reflects my interests and the interests of many of the visitors to this site, including Colts, other guns, ammo, computers, web design, military, hunting and fishing, photography, science, and travel. If you buy from my online bookstore the sale will be handled through Amazon's secure servers and the price to you will be exactly the same as if you went to Amazon.com directly. The difference is, I will receive a small percentage of whatever you spend. I would appreciate your help in this way to partially defray the expense in time and money that it takes to maintain this site.

You can help support this web site by coming here first to click through to Amazon.com for anything you would normally buy from Amazon.

My Colt Woodsman Pocket Guide has evolved over more than 20 years from a single 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper to the current 96 page shirt pocket size booklet. It includes numerous photos, tables, and other information for the Woodsman owner. The price is $10 plus $1 for shipping. Cash, check, money order or Paypal ok.

2007 is the latest and probably final edition. More information, more pictures, improved layout and organization over previous editions.





In response to many requests, I have posted Exploded Views of the various models.

Standard Catalog Of Firearms, 16th Edition The 2006 edition of The Standard Catalog of Firearms was released in January, 2006 and contains an article by Yours Truly on factory engraved Colt Woodsman pistols. The cover photo shows three engraved guns from my collection. The book can be ordered from Amazon.com by clicking on the title above or the cover photo at right. The file photo on Amazon.com shows an older issue, but the link is to the 2006 issue. Please note: the 2006 is not the current issue, but is shown here for those with a particular interest in the Colt Woodsman. A link to the current version is in the block below.

Collecting the Colt Woodsman is a hobby for me, not a business. Please note that I do not do appraisals, so please do not ask me to estimate the value of your gun. I have provided input to the Blue Book of Gun Values for several years, and as of the 2005 edition I also contribute to The Standard Catalog of Firearms. Each of these publications is updated annually with Colt Woodsman values and descriptions based on my recommendations to the editor. The two publications are not identical, and each has certain advantages over the other. I recommend that you consult both publications and then make your own appraisal. You can order either one or both by clicking on the links below.

If you order via the links on this page that will help support the cost of maintaining this Woodsman web site, while the cost to you will be exactly the same as if you ordered directly. Your help will be appreciated.

If you do not feel qualified to do your own appraisal with the aid of these books, Blue Book Publications will do a written appraisal for you for only $20. There are links on their web site to their appraisal service. They also have experts available to answer specific questions about almost any type of gun for a small fee.

Good News for Woodsman Collectors: The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has now classified as "Curios and Relics:"
"Colt, Woodsman, .22 caliber semiautomatic pistols, all models, all series, all serial numbers, (to include Match Target, Challenger, Huntsmen, and Targetsman), made prior to 1978"
See it on the BATF web site at: http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/curios/0301to0402update.htm

The fact that the Woodsman has been classified as a Curio and Relic by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) makes life a lot easier for a Woodsman collector who has a Federal Collector's License. A licensed collector can buy a "Curio and Relic" for his own collection from someone in another state, with no requirement to route the purchase through a federally licensed dealer.

One of the finest Colt Woodsman collections ever assembled was listed on this web site in December, 2002. The collection has been sold, but photos and descriptions of the entire collection are being kept online here for reference by present and future collectors. You can view it by clicking on A Fine Collection
The Colt Woodsman collection that was listed on this web site in October, 2005 has all been sold. You can still see pictures and descriptions HERE.

ABOUT US

I once had an extensive Woodsman collection, and over the years I bought parts from gunsmiths who were retiring, or gun shops that were going out of business. As a result I ended up with sizeable quantities of some parts. I sold my gun collection, and now I am selling my parts, papers, and paraphernalia. I am not in the parts business; I'm merely selling off what I have and will not be replacing the parts as they are sold.
