Description:
c1903 mfg. COLT LIGHTNING Slide Action .22 Short Rifle C&R Octagonal Barrel
Pump Action Rimfire Rifle
Here we present a C&R Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1903, 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 actions were able to achieve. This example is chambered in .22 rimfire, a very light and handy cartridge for hunting small game or just going out to do some plinking.
The overall condition is very good. Original blue finish, case colors and patina. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The trademark rampant Colt is clear on the left side of the receiver. There is a small chip at the top corner of each wrist and a split down the center of the slide handle. Otherwise solid.
