1885 mfg Antique COLT LIGHTING Slide Action .32-20 WCF Rifle PISTOL CALIBER

Pump Action Rifle Made in the Mid-1880s

Here we present an antique Colt Lightning Medium Frame Slide Action Rifle, made circa 1885, 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 .32-20 WCF, a very light and handy cartridge for hunting small game yet more knock down power than the lighter .22 calibers. And, it would make a perfect match to your Colt Single Action Army in the same caliber.

The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish. Excellent action. The bore is shiny bright with great rifling. The walnut stock shows use, with some heavier wear and some old gouges around the rear of the receiver tang.

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

Barrel is 26 inches.

Caliber: .32-20 Winchester Center Fire

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.
