in past I had chance to acquire an old colt lightning and taurus clone, but did not because I read too much about inherent problems people had with them.
but I wish you the best and looking forward to learning how difficult or easy they might be to work on.
Just wait, a Taurus will explode on it's own! [smilie=l:
Check Gunparts, Inc. I think they have a lot of exploded views.

Also, here's an article on the mechanical aspects that may help you further:

.
wondering how you made out with your lightning
there is a colt lightning in 22 rimfire coming up on rock islands oct 6 auction
they say is in excellent condition, very tempting if bidding doesn't go to high
I'm not interested in buying one, but do have a few questions.Quote:

IIRC Colt never made any in .22 Long Rifle.
