This semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .22 LR, is a high-quality clone of the renowned Ruger Mark II, crafted with precision and durability. Its impeccable stainless steel finish and Pachmayr signature grips make it both a functional tool and a collector's item. The Lightning is in excellent condition, with only minor handling wear, and boasts a bright, clean bore with sharp rifling, ensuring top-notch performance.
The AMT Lightning comes with a 6.5" heavy bull barrel, complete with a recessed target crown, enhancing its accuracy and appeal for target shooting. The package includes one 10-round magazine, offering a 10+1 capacity for extended shooting sessions. The rear square notch and front blade sights provide clear targeting, making it ideal for both novice and experienced shooters.
Manufactured in the 1980s by Arcadia Machine & Tool (AMT), the Lightning's production was short-lived due to legal disputes with Ruger, who successfully sued AMT for copying their designs. This lawsuit led to AMT's closure, making the Lightning a unique and rare collector's piece. Its single-action-only (SAO) mechanism ensures a crisp, consistent trigger pull, enhancing precision and reliability.
The AMT Lightning is more than just a firearm; it's a tangible piece of history, embodying the spirit of innovation and craftsmanship.
