Looking for info on a Colt Lightning 22 rifle.Serial#13###. It is all original except the forearm which has been replaced.Reciever is 70% blue and rest of metal is more of a brown patina.Buttstock just looks its age with a few marks.It shoots and functions very good.Barrel looks bright with shallow rifling.Any estimates on value?

I've seen guys asking $1100-1500 for them.

Did they ever sell them? Dunno.

They are kinda neat, but fragile. I've seen a couple that had the bottom of the cartridge carrier/lifter blown out, causing the lifter to rise up just fine, but not draw back down when the slide is pushed forward. I've read elsewhere that this is common.
