Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle

The small frame version of the Colt Lightning was the first plinking gun manufactured by Colt. Manufactured in 1902, this small frame Lightning features a hooded post front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight, half magazine, smooth walnut stock and forearm with outlines for checkering, and a checkered hard rubber buttplate with the Rampant Colt emblem. It has the standard Colt markings.

ConditionVery fine. The rifle retains 75% plus of the original blue finish with some fading/thinning, edge wear, and some light scratches. The upper and lower tangs display a gray patina. The wood is fine with only a few dings and slight scrapes. The action is excellent and the markings are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
