Colt lightning 32

Description:
Offered for sale is an original Colt Lightning Medium-Frame pump-action rifle chambered in .32-20, manufactured circa 1894–1895 (serial number 52936). This is a true Colt classic featuring the full octagon barrel, original wood, pump-slide action, and the iconic Rampant Colt rollmark on the receiver.

This rifle is 100% antique (pre-1898) and presents very honest age-appropriate wear without any visible refinishing. Markings are clear, wood is solid, and the gun retains its original character throughout.
