Ted Nugent GOA Benefit Rifle Leads March Collector's Elite Firearms Auction Event

 

Collector's Elite Auctions has officially opened its March auction event, delivering one of the most dynamic and historically significant collections to date. With more than 100 fine, rare and investment-grade firearms now available for bidding, the March lineup spans iconic American revolvers, ultra-rare precision rifles and a headline-grabbing Ted Nugent benefit package supporting Gun Owners of America.

Bidding opened March 1 and will close the evening of March 15 at CollectorsEliteAuctions.com.

Ted Nugent PSA JAKL Autographed Package Benefiting GOA

Leading the March collection is a one-of-a-kind, Ted Nugent–fired PSA JAKL in 5.56 NATO, presented as part of a full 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. Accompanying the rifle are a signed red, white and blue guitar, autographed book, signed photo and autographed hat — all personally handled by Nugent.

This package blends firearms culture, rock and roll provenance and Second Amendment advocacy into a single display-worthy collection. Proceeds will help 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 this month. 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 disciplined background treatment, Laster's work represents a modern continuation of Colt's historic engraving tradition. The result is a revolver that bridges 19th-century design heritage with contemporary master craftsmanship. 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 in high condition 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 barrel configuration was produced in limited numbers and 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 piece for advanced N-frame collections.

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, this rifle embodies the pinnacle of precision engineering and modern custom-shop craftsmanship. With verified provenance and a closed production history, it represents a once-in-a-generation acquisition opportunity.

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

Rounding out the highlighted offerings 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 2-inch configuration blends rarity with visual impact.

Quigley's engraving is known for its disciplined execution and adherence to traditional Colt aesthetics. Firearms bearing his documented work continue to gain traction among advanced collectors seeking authentic American scroll engraving rooted in classic patterns.

More Than 100 Investment-Grade Firearms

Beyond these featured lots, the March Collector's Elite Auctions event includes more than 100 rare, engraved, customized and historically significant firearms sourced from respected partners and private collections.

Bidding remains open through the evening of March 15, providing collectors ample time to research, register and compete for some of the most desirable firearms currently available on the market.
