A friend of mine is thinning out his collection of C&R guns. He's selling a total of 60 guns in three lots of 20. Out of the first lot, I'm really interested in a model 1884 Winchester, chambered in 32-40, and manufactured in 1905, and a small frame, pump action, 22LR, Colt Lightning "Magazine Rifle" that was manufactured in 1899.

I've seen several model 1894 over the years, but this is the first one that I've seen with a screw and square nut through the wrist of the stock. The screw head and screw appear to be installed early in the rifle's life, but I don't see any damage to the stock that would necessitate the installation of the screw and bolt.







The Colt Lightning Magazine Rifle is unique because it has what may be a factory installed Lyman sight on the receiver tang, and a dovetail bubble level where the rear sight would normally be installed. I've searched all over the internet, and I can't find another rifle with a Lyman sight and a bubble level installed.











Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
