Antique COLT LIGHTING Small Frame .22 HUNTING / SPORTING Slide Action Rifle Pump Action “PLINKER” Made in 1894

Description:
Antique COLT LIGHTING Small Frame .22 HUNTING / SPORTING Slide Action Rifle

Pump Action “PLINKER” Made in 1894

Here we present an antique Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1894 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 were able to achieve.

The action fully functions, with the slide having some resistance. Dark bore. Cracks at the wrist allow for movement when light pressure is applied. Drilled and tapped tang. This example is re-finished. 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.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 24 inches.

Caliber: .22 Rimfire

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.
