Picked up a new to me and interesting rifle the other day.A Colt lighting in 32-20.Mfg in 1888. No finnish but all there.Wood is pretty good shape.Tore this thing all down [not a easy task] and removed 1/2 pound of dirt and crud.Bore is a bit rough but I plan on shooting it a bit to see if it clears up.Plan B is to have ol Bobby Hoyt reline it if not.
Never would of consitered getting one except at 150 bucks I could not pass it up.
Anyone have any experence with one?
BTW a LOT of machining went into one of these babys.
