AMT Lightning 8.5" Stainless .22 LR Bull-Barrel Semi-Auto Pistol – Limited Production Target Model
This AMT Lightning combines a long 8.5-inch bull barrel, all-stainless construction, and factory target upgrades in a collectible package. Designed to mimic the proven Ruger MK-series geometry while adding stainless steel durability and Clark performance parts, it offers a ready-to-shoot target pistol that is both uncommon and historically notable.

What’s Included
- Two 10-round stainless steel .22 LR magazines with black polymer floorplates
The Lightning’s 8.5-inch bull barrel delivers exceptional sight radius and stability. Made from solid stainless steel, it balances at approximately 48 oz, reducing muzzle rise and promoting consistent follow-through on target.
Factory performance parts set this pistol apart. The wide, serrated Clark adjustable trigger breaks cleanly and can be tuned to the shooter’s preference. A fully adjustable Millett rear sight pairs with a pinned ramped patridge front blade for precise, repeatable alignment.
The receiver top is machined with four 3/8" dovetail grooves, allowing direct mounting of optics or rings without additional bases. Twin takedown ears on the bolt simplify disassembly, and the heel-style magazine release maintains a low profile for bench work.
While externally patterned after the Ruger MK II, the Lightning is built entirely of stainless steel and accepts Ruger-pattern magazines and many internal components.
