Colt Lightning Express Large Frame, Marked .40-60-260 CAL., MFG: 1887, SN: 346, Slide Action Rifle, 28'' round barrel, full mag. Very early first year production. The factory straight grip stocks are very good, with the correct checkered forend & non-checkered stock. There are minor handling marks, scratches & contusions to the stocks, with some smoothing of the checkering. The stock has a couple of short & tight stress cracks at the upper comb & one very tight 2'' hairline emanating from the end of the lower tang. There is a natural knot on the right side of the stock at the upper right corner of the buttplate, which has some internal cracking. The original metal blue finish on barrel & mag tube rates 70%, while the receiver has worn mostly gun metal gray with a mix of blue remnant & thin brown patina in the more protected areas. Bore is very good, with some roughness amongst strong rifling. Barrel carries an adjustable rear sight & an elongated blade front sight. Crescent metal buttplate. Smooth tight action. One of only 6,496 large frame Colts produced. Overall, a very nice, all original early antique rifle. Antique, No FFL Req. - Value: 2500 to 5000
