Product Description
c1902 mfr. COLT LIGHTNING .22 Short SLIDE ACTION Rifle C&R Small Game
TURN OF THE CENTURY Hunting/Sporting PLINKER
Here we present a C&R Colt Lightning Small Frame Slide Action Rifle, made in 1902, 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 .22 rimfire, a very light and handy cartridge for hunting small game or just going out to do some plinking.
The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish and patina. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock shows use and remains solid.
