1886 vintage Colt Lightning in .32-20. Normal wear and tear and mag tube has been shortened, probably after being damaged.
Fully functional and I have plenty of ammo!! I love Wisconsin!!

You SUCK! You KNOW you SUCK! That's a beautiful old rifle with a fine patina finish on it! Hope it shoots as good as it looks! Nice find!

Damn. That is one excellent find.

I am afraid we forget sometime that the basic and simple things brings us the most pleasure.
