LIGHTNING RIFLE IN DESIRABLE .44-40 CALIBER WITH OCTAGON BARREL, MADE 1889, fine example throughout with nice even dark barrel and mag blue that has naturally aged and is mixing with a little plum but never cleaned, receiver also retains most of the blue that has aged similarly to the barrel and magazine, exc. markings on barrel and still retains the rampant colt stamping on the left side of the receiver, fine+ wood with tight wood to metal fit, good checkering on the forend with only one minor age crack on the right side coming forward from the rear to the first screw and goes no further, tight action which locks up properly when the rifle is cocked (most don't), original buckhorn rear sight (needs elevator bar only) and Rocky Mountain blade front sight, near excellent bore is a little dark only with sharp rifling and any roughness is minor and surface, a true unmessed with Lightning that has never been cleaned or "helped" by anyone in the last hundred+ years!
