Description:
COLT FIRST MODEL SADDLE RING CARBINE LIGHTNING, .44-40, #20XXX, MADE 1887. The First Model Lightnings are easy to spot ss they have "open top" receivers that later were fitted with dust covers (2nd. Models). The First Models also have sliding safety tabs in the front of the trigger guard (which were eliminated later.) and are usually removed- as is this one. Mostly a gray/brown overall with fine markings including the Rampant Colt on the left side of the receiver. Still some good blue in the most protected areas- around the saddle ring etc. Checkered forend is fine and shows only normal wear with no cracks or chips. Butt stock is also fine with good wood to metal fit. The carbine ladder rear sight is dated 1873 is appears to be from a Wincheter 1873 carbine. The bore is a little dark with fine rifling all the way through and any roughness very minor. Attractive appearance. Solid 143 year old Lightning Carbine.
