c1889 mfr. Antique COLT “LIGHTING” Small Frame Slide Action .22 Rifle SHORT Pump Action Rifle Made in 1889
Description: c1889 mfr. Antique COLT “LIGHTING” Small Frame Slide Action .22 Rifle SHORT Pump Action Rifle Made in 1889 Here we present an antique Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1889 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 was able to achieve. This specimen 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 finish/patina. Strong, smooth action (there is a crack on the underside of the slide which is stable). Bore has thin rifling. Sturdy and secure buttstock with an expected amount of wear. The toe of the stock probably had a chip and was then sanded smooth long ago. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .22 Rimfire Short (black powder) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2000 #217293 SOLD Antique: Yes |
