They made a model they called a Regal. They had hand selected and cut checkered walnut furniture, jeweled or engraved bolts (the engraved was a deeply cut scallop pattern) high polished bolt, carrier, and lifter, and an extended forearm tube. The receiver was finished in a *dark*, high polished black and matching, dark blued barrels were fitted. Even the triggers and guards on the Regal were made specifically for it. The trigger guard was a high gloss, deep black synthetic while the trigger was gold and very smooth. The actions were so smooth that they could be pumped easily with a finger and a thumb. The Regals are distinguished by a gold "R" medallion on the right side of the receiver (early type) or a three-pointed gold crown medallion (late model) right above the trigger guard. The word "Regal" is engraved towards the front of the receiver's right side.

Over the years, a large majority of them got parted out due to the fact that they were a specialty item. You couldn't buy barrels blued just for the Regals, nor forearms to fit the extended tubes etc. Most Regals today turn up with mismatched barrels, cheaper replacement stocks and modern short forearm tubes. The scalloped bolts and high gloss trigger guards are a rarity.
