This lot features an original Colt Lightning Pump Action Rifle chambered in .22 caliber. The rifle features a fully octagon 24 inch barrel with blue factory finish having fixed sights and is marked, "COLTS PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD CONN. U.S.A. / PATENTED MAY 26. SEPT. 12. 83. MAY 26. 85. JUNE 15. 86. FEB. 22. 1887." along with "22 Cal". The rifle shows a serial number of 87081 and was manufactured in circa 1904. The rifle receiver shows a mellow patina'd blue factory finish with even honest surfaces married to a factory walnut hardwood stock and replacement fore-grip. This was Coltó»s response to Winchester making repeating lever action rifles in the same caliber as those offered in the famed Colt Single Action Army Revolver. Many frontiersmen preferred to carry their big Colt Revolvers chambered for the same caliber as their repeating rifle- this was Coltó»s answer. This is the smaller frame Colt Lightning example. The rifle appears to be in functioning overall good to fair condition for its early collectible age. The replacement fore-grip should be replaced. This is truly a rare firearm.
