Description:
c1902 mfr COLT “LIGHTNING” .22 Short SLIDE ACTION Rimfire Rifle C&R
Pump Action Rifle Made in 1902
Here we present a C&R Colt Lightning Slide Action Rifle in .22 Short, made in 1902, 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 fine. Modestly refinished. The action is excellent and the bore is very fine: shiny bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The rear sight is a replacement. A great little rifle!
