While the Boa was manufactured custom to order by Colt under contract for Lew Horton Distributors in Massachusetts as a special edition in 1985, it was never listed in a Colt price sheet or catalog. Only 1,200 were manufactured with consecutive serial numbers by barrel length and then sold in sets, 600 in 4" and 600 in 6", of which 100 were matched sets.
