(EL-C1137) COLT LIGHTNING SADDLERING CARBINE IN THE DESIRABLE 44 CALIBER
The entire gun is a gray patina, possibly cleaned in spots but does have nice bbl markings, scattered pitting throughout-mostly on the bbl and mag tube. Appears to be a replacement buttstock that fits so-so, forearm wood is well worn but all there, bore isn't too bad; it's bright and shiny with decent riflings, some light roughness and very light pitting. It may even clean up to look better than it does. This old Colt has been there and done that! e
