I am preparing to do an action job on an old Colt Lightning revolver in 38 caliber. Does anyone know a good source for old parts I may need along the way? I know they are becomming harder to find.

    I have recently acquired a rifle about which I know very little.It appears to be a Colt Lightning in .32. It is pump action with a tubular magazine and an octagonal barrel. Anyone have an idea when it was made (ser#440XX)? What is it worth? Thanks.

    I have a Colt Lightning rifle and I was wondering what the value of it might be. I believe that it is chambered for the 45-70 round but can't find any markings on the barrel. The serial number is 5772. I am guessing that the magazine tube is not original because it doesn't show the same wear as the barrel.

    I have a pair of grips if you happen to need them.

    Dixie gunworks has the trigger, sear and hand springs, Widners has a better quality cylinder locking bolt and trigger stud. What do you need?
