Colt lightning

The Colt Lightning rifle was quite a hit when it came out in the late 1800s. It was made in three different frame sizes, the .22 being the smallest. If found in original condition, it is worth a considerable sum to a collector. Trouble is, most were well used and the condition generally reflects it. If you have one, try to avoid refinishing it. Also, don't use hi speed ammo, as it was produced during the era of blackpowder ammunition.

The only thing I know is, it only shoots .22 shorts.
