c1902 COLT Small Frame LIGHTNING .22 SHORT Small Game SLIDE ACTION Rifle C&R Pump Action Rifle Made in 1902
Description: c1902 COLT Small Frame LIGHTNING .22 SHORT Small Game SLIDE ACTION Rifle C&R Pump Action Rifle Made in 1902 Here we present a C&R Colt Lightning Small Frame 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 good. Some original blue with a mostly plum patina. Clear trademark rampant Colt on the left of the receiver. The action is excellent. The cap at the tip of the magazine tube is absent. The bore is dim and a bit worn. The slide wood has a chip at the top left rear corner. The butt stock shows use and remains solid. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .22 Short Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1600 #233929 Price: $1,600.00 Buy Now Curio/Relic: Yes Contact Seller |
