Description:
SOLD  awaiting payment Listing a antique Open top Colt Lightning rifle, it's a round 26" barrel, caliber 38/40, has original rear sight and Rocky Mountain type blade front. sn 9749, a rather early rifle with the finger latch to lock slide located ahead of trigger guard. The rifling in this piece is exceptional for a 137 year old black powder era rifle. Pride in ownership, came outa northern Minnesota and was lettered in 1983, letter pictured, rifle was 98 years old then. I've included a target from last week shooting at 50 yds off hand. Loads cycles and shoots excellent. The early Lightnings had a open top ( pictured ) The worn Checkering on the two piece forearm indicated they are original not replacements. Finish is fine for a old rifle, the wood appears to have been sanded some at one time. The rampant Colt is visible on left side. I ship through USPS but require a C&R or FFL to ship to. According to my post office a antique is a front loader only. I don't need to know how much someone knows I work with the post office to ship my collection which is working just fine for me. Payment in postal money orders or cashiers check. Any questions please call or text me at 920-590-3400 thank you, enjoy your day sold Joe Hasser, Navarino, Netherlands $1900.
