The Colt Lightning Rifle | The '''Colt Lightning Carbine''' (also called the '''Colt Lightning Rifle'''; not to be confused with the [[Colt Lightning|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.
