Description:
BRITISH PROOFED Antique COLT LIGHTING Small Frame Slide Action .22 RF Rifle
Pump Action Rifle Made in 1886
Here we present an antique British Proofed Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1886 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.
The overall condition is good. Original patina. Strong action. Bright bore. This example sports a solid stock. The forend has split and is missing the right side. Legible markings.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 24 inches.
Caliber: .22 Rimfire
Overall condition as seen in photos.
