GR-0325-6518, 1st Type Colt Medium Frame Lightning Rifle. .38-40 cal. BLOWOUT
$1,550.00
GR-0325-6518, Colt Medium Frame Lightning Rifle. .38-40 cal. 1st type with no sliding breech cover. 26 inch barrel. Functional mechanics but when the hammer is cocked the slide still slides and it should not. The first model has a safety release in the trigger-guard that you have to push forward to be able to work the action. It was cumbersome and was not on the later model. This gun is missing the part in the trigger-guard that acts as a safety. This is not uncommon on first models. I think many people removed them during time of service because you can pump and reload quicker without it in. Serial number 9xx, and the gun was made in 1884. Entirely brown / grey gun with only traces of original blue finish. Bore is bright, shiny, crisply rifled with fine spots the length of the bore. Very good bore. There is wood filler on the stock in several places. Crisp and clear barrel address. The butt plate has been cold-blued.
