Product Description
c1899 mfr COLT LIGHTING Slide Action RIFLE .32-20 WCF C&R Medium Frame Pump
Colt’s Alternative to Winchester’s Lever Action
Here we present a C&R Colt Lightning Medium Frame Slide Action Rifle in .32-20, made in 1899, 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 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.
