Lightning Baby Carbine Fix-It 

Thank you Mark, I pray every morning for Colt dare to reborn the Lightning.

I always have liked those kind of rifles. I like Colts and Winchesters in general. Whenever I have seen an old lightening at a gun show they have always wanted too much. More than I can afford.

And i absolutely love the scenery on that old ranch

Hi Mark, Irony!, just this very afternoon I was visiting "The Gun Shop and Range" in Leesburg Florida and there is one of these Lightning rifles right there in .38 cal. It's in "very good" condition and had to be many years in someone's collection I would suspect as this place is near the retirement community of "The Villages"... He had an asking price tag on it at 4k if I saw it correctly and it was displayed in a glass counter case.. ..It looks like the one you show in the middle of the 3 you have on this video...Great video's Sir, I enjoy them much and thanks for sharing your experience with us..Best Regards, D.

I always loved those gorgeous old Lightning's. Great little shooters in their day. That nickel plated one is just beautiful!! Thanks for sharing and have a blessed Sunday!!

Love that countryside !

So great watching your enthusiasm and expertise in action.!😊😊

Both of these carbines are very nicely manufactured. Thanks Mark for demonstrating these carbines. I first noticed the flaking of plating with a silver plated S&W #2 in .32 rimfire. Nice shooting Mark.

Hi Mark, Great video, I've never seen the inside of a lightning before thanks for the "tour." You all have a great weekend!

What an outstanding, educational video. Have often wondered what the internals of a Lightning looks like? Thanks, this was very entertaining and informational for me. Enjoy your upcoming trip to Cody.

I love your videos, Mark I really like the fact that you’re honest there’s no sugarcoating if Gun‘s not functioning correctly you show that I really really appreciate that. Keep up the good work.

That was a nice look at these guns!

Your channel is by far my favorite firearm channel. Great job.

What A Wonderful Episode Mark I Sure Do Like Colt Lightning Rifles Especially The Large Frame Model in 50 Express 😀😊😀

It takes a skilled hand to guide the lightning. Great to them brought back!

The best most informative videos out there on older guns

What a great, well done and instructive video. I finally know more about internal parts, how they work and fit together. I now understand how to disassemble and reassemble a 44-40 lightning with the tricky part to pay attention to. Again thanks a lot! 👍😃

Very educational video, Mark. Thank you.

I sure wish I was able to go to Cody because I'm able to purchase one but I'm just not ready to pull out yet oh well maybe next time. Thanks so much for the video I really did enjoy this. Back at you happy trails

Another great video. As always I appreciate the knowledge you're passing along. Enjoy your trip to Cody.

Those are really unique and interesting rifles. I've never seen one until you posted the shorter video the other day. Makes me want to get one, lol. Thanks for sharing as always and very interesting.

The Taurus version of that rifle is a total copy. I was laughing when you described how to put that rifle back together it is a serious PITA.

Well done, I enjoyed the shooting.

Great video! I really enjoyed the shooting and the smithing.

Absolutely love the Lightings. Thanks for sharing

Great video Mark.

This video was awesome i have a colt lightning missing the top cartridge cover and now have the fix if i ever have a problem Thanks !!

So pleased they were a relatively easy fix. Hugh Somerset UK

I like my old 30-30. 120 years old functions like new.😊😊😊

Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

What is absolutely necessary with a top eject system is a large brass-funnel western hat. Otherwise one could burn some sensitive skin somewhere. 😆 The 44 magnum sort of replaced the 44-40. However, nothing in a rimmed casing today actually replaced the 38-40, except maybe the 10mm but that's rimless.

Thanks Mark good stuff there.

What a fine video.....Thanks Mark.... Shoe🇺🇸

One of my favorite western rifles! I can't afford the real thing, but I have a uberti one. Great fun.

Those colt lightnings are certainly some interesting guns

nice project!

Hi Mark, enjoyed your video! Ive handled a few Colt lightnings, just never decided i needed one, cool rifle though! Chris

Cool video thank you sir

Fun and fascinating. Thanks.

Excellent content!

Great work! It's difficult seeing inside a mechanism to figure out what's wrong.

Beautiful and interesting slide actions. I located several near me for sale. High dollar pieces!

Thanks a lot Mark, I've been too chicken to break down my second year manufactured Colt Lightning until I found a recent Cinnabar showing me how. Shortly after acquiring the firearm I purchased a mold, dies, brass etc. and it shoots nice, 2" and sometimes better, the sights had a bit of a learning curve. Anyway, I'd like to try bp loads and will buy a mold that carries more lube. I do want to be able to take it apart, but after removing the tang screw I am unable to remove the butt stock. Is there a trick?

I would love to learn to be a gunsmith

I've like those gun but wonder why they didn't catch on better seems faster than a lever gun

Love the channel! Really like your head mounted brass catcher. Do you have any fir on that place or is it all juniper and ponderosa?

Do you shoot smokeless from these old guns? Anyway super video! I Have Baby Carbine 32-20 first model with safety lock near trigger. It works great for now. Bud I am using Black powder just for sure. A lot of cleaning needed :-/

Oh baby! Lol

The ruling on Measure 114 by judge Karin Immergut was a shocker on Friday, you're on your way to Canadian style gun control laws.

Thank you

that system might need a spring!
