Bids Nearing a Close on Ted Nugent GOA Benefit Rifle, Rest of March Collector's Elite Auction

 

The clock is winding down on the March Collector's Elite Auctions event, with bidding set to close Sunday evening, March 15. Collectors and firearms enthusiasts now have their final opportunity to place bids on more than 100 rare, engraved and historically significant firearms currently available at CollectorsEliteAuctions.com.

The March collection spans iconic American revolvers, elite long-range competition rifles and a headline-grabbing Ted Nugent benefit package supporting Gun Owners of America. With bidding already active across many lots, the final hours are expected to bring strong competition for some of the most unique firearms offered this year.

Ted Nugent PSA JAKL Autograph Package Benefiting GOA

Leading the March collection is a one-of-a-kind Ted Nugent PSA JAKL chambered in 5.56 NATO, presented as part of a full autographed memorabilia ensemble benefiting Gun Owners of America. The 14.5-inch pinned-and-welded configuration features a distinctive zebra-pattern finish, adjustable gas system and matching optic.

The package also includes a signed red, white and blue guitar, autographed book, signed photo and autographed hat — all personally handled and signed by Nugent.

This lot blends firearms culture, rock-and-roll provenance and Second Amendment advocacy into a single collectible package, with proceeds helping support GOA's ongoing legal efforts at both the federal and state levels.

Master-Engraved 1979 Colt Single Action Army by Kelly Laster

Collectors of high-end Colt revolvers will immediately recognize the significance of the 1979 Third Generation Colt Single Action Army featured in the March auction. Chambered in .45 Colt with a 4.75-inch barrel, this example combines classic blued and case-color finishes with fire-blue accents and one-piece walnut grips inlaid with a buffalo skull motif.

What elevates this revolver into centerpiece territory is its master-level engraving attributed to Kelly Laster. Known for precise American scrollwork and refined background treatment, Laster's work represents a modern continuation of Colt's historic engraving tradition. The revolver ships with its Colt presentation case.

Ultra-Rare 3.5-Inch Smith & Wesson Pre-Model 27 Five Screw

Serious Smith & Wesson collectors understand the desirability of a 3.5-inch Pre-Model 27 — and examples with full documentation are increasingly scarce.

Manufactured in 1957, this five-screw N-frame revolver traces its lineage directly to the legendary Registered Magnum era. The 3.5-inch configuration was produced in comparatively small numbers and was favored by federal agents and law enforcement officers who wanted magnum performance in a more compact package.

With its factory-original box, paperwork and Smith & Wesson letter included, this example represents a cornerstone revolver for advanced N-frame collectors.

The Only Known Bynuna F-Class Rifle in the United States

Among the most extraordinary offerings in the March auction is a Bynuna Custom F-Class Target Rifle — documented as part of an ultra-limited production run of just 160 rifles commissioned for select international clients, including Emirati royalty.

According to accompanying documentation, this rifle is the only known example remaining in the United States.

Chambered in .223 Match and optimized for 69-grain Sierra Match ammunition, it features a 32-inch cut-rifled stainless barrel, custom Royal Walnut and Maple laminate benchrest stock and Timney Elite trigger.

Designed specifically for long-range F-Class competition at distances up to 1,000 yards, the rifle represents the pinnacle of modern precision rifle engineering and custom-shop craftsmanship.

1980 Colt Single Action Army with Full Floral Engraving by Phil Quigley

Also drawing strong interest is a striking 1980 Third Generation Colt Single Action Army featuring full-coverage floral scroll engraving by respected engraver Phil Quigley.

Finished in stainless with genuine one-piece mother-of-pearl grips and accompanied by an extra .44 Special cylinder, this compact 2-inch configuration blends rarity with visual impact.

Quigley's engraving is recognized for its disciplined execution and adherence to traditional Colt aesthetics. Firearms bearing his documented work continue to grow in demand among advanced collectors.
