Colt Lightning Rifle - .40-60-260
Colt Lightning Rifle (Uberti reproduction) - .38 Special
The Colt Lightning Carbine (also called the Colt Lightning Rifle; not to be confused with the Colt Lightning revolver) was a slide-action or pump-action rifle manufactured by Colt from 1884 to 1904, and was originally chambered in .44-40 WCF. Colt eventually made the Lightning Rifle in three different frame sizes to accommodate a wide range of cartridges, from .22 Short and .38-40 WCF to .50-95 Express. Its profile somewhat resembles the pump-action rimfire rifles made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and Remington Arms. The Colt Lightning Carbine saw use as a sporting arm in America and was adopted for use by the San Francisco Police Department, but was never as popular or as reliable as the various lever-action rifles of its day.
