Description:
Antique COLT LIGHTING Slide Action Rifle in .32-20
Pump Action Rifle Made in 1890
Here we present an antique Colt Lightning Medium Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1890, in Hartford, Connecticut. This was Colt’s entry into the pistol caliber rifle and carbine market, which was absolutely dominated by Winchester at this time. Pistol caliber rifles were instrumental in the hands of those settling the West, as they were able to carry one type of ammunition to feed both their long gun and their sidearm. It also enabled a rifle to be stoked with the maximum number of cartridges, sacrificing power for capacity, useful when outnumbered at close range. The Colt Lightning was fairly successful, but never approached the numbers that Winchester’s lever action were able to achieve.
This specimen is chambered in .32-20, a very light and handy cartridge. The front sight features a flip up design, with the primary sight a front post, and the secondary a fine bead inside an aperture.
This specimen is in near fine condition. The barrel retains some of the original blue finish, with the balance an even patina. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock is solid. The bore is clearly rifled and in very good condition. The action is functional. The front shoulder of the hammer is missing, but it is functional nonetheless.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 26 inches in length.
Caliber: .32-20
Bore is in very good condition and the action is functional.
Overall condition as seen in photos.
