Description:
Listing a very rare ( under 250 ) produced in or around 1891, serial number 51367, Colt Lightning Musket, features a 27" round barrel with right side Saber Bayonet lug, sorry no bayonet . Rampant Colt visible on left side of receiver as is barrel printing , only made in the iconic 44/40 caliber , I've read for the Costa Rican Military. Plenty of Colt long rifles were shipped abroad as the market at home was saturated with the lever rifles of large manufacturers of the day. The wood appears all original the metal a grayish patina, not polished as so many are. I've never fired this Musket but have no doubt it would perform fine. The bore is excellent, original ladder sight, although the slide is not present, nor are there sling swivels and no sign that they were ever on this rifle. Tight action, doubt it was ever fired much. Screws are in perfect shape. This would fit well in a old west museum. I've listed several of my rarer Colt rifles and have sold several to satisfied customers. I'm asking $12,000. but would be open to reasonable offers. I ship USPS they require antique cartridge rifles to be sent to either your C&R or a FFL. Priority mail, insured , signature required , you may call or text me at 920-590-3400, I can provide additional pictures if you need. Thanks for your time and enjoy the day
