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 specimen is chambered in .32-20 WCF, a very light and handy cartridge for hunting small game yet more knock down power that the lighter .22 calibers. The overall condition is good. Light brown refinish. Excellent action. The dust cover is absent. The bore is reflective with strong rifling. Solid stock with an average amount of wear. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: .32-20 Winchester Center Fire 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 $2200 #228086 Price: $2,200.00 Curio/Relic: Yes |
