Cowboy shooters know that when seconds count you look for speed and accuracy in every shot. The USFA Lightning Rifle™ is built for this purpose. The most striking feature about the Lightning is the slide or pump mechanism. Many rifles of the Old West were lever action. This means the “Anchor Arm” breaks its hold in order to enable the lever to work the action. The result is that the ‘anchor arm’ causes the shooter to lose the critical barrel/target relationship. This unique benefit of the Lightning rifle is the ability of the shooter to never lose that critical “anchor arm” (regardless of whether you are right or left handed) and remain focused and ready on your target. When “Second Place is not an Option”… put your Score on the board with the Lightning Rifle.

Produced from 1884 to 1904, the Medium Frame Lightning Magazine Rifle was a dramatic innovation in breech loading firearms. A remarkably short action stroke, compact size, made the Lightning Magazine Rifle a success on the frontier.

In the 21st century, USFA uses the latest in modern Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing to reverse engineer and make new parts for our products. Having the right ‘tools’ is important but having the right skills and a good pair of hands is what makes USFA products better. 100% Made in America. Why buy anything else?
