ANTIQUE Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle 44 WCF
Third Model Made in 1883
Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Third Model Lever Action Rifle, made in 1883 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1873 is one of the most iconic of American rifles. Given the moniker “The Gun that Won the West”, the 1873 was there during the Indian Wars and Range Wars of the late 19th century. Cowboys, Natives, settlers, miners, law enforcement, express companies and hunters all found these rifles and carbines useful tools. These rifles made excellent companions to revolvers at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns. The 1873 really was the quintessential Western rifle, handily outpacing all the muzzle-loading and Civil War surplus guns that also made their way to the frontier.
This rifle features a 24-inch round barrel. The front sight is a windage adjustable blade. The rear sight is an elevation adjustable buckhorn. It is chambered for .44 WCF. The receiver tang is marked “MODEL 1873”. The barrel is marked “WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS NEW HAVEN CONN. USA/KINGS IMPROVEMENT PATENTED MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16, 1860”.
The overall condition is good. Metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are mostly legible. The walnut stock shows handling and has a repair on the wrist. There is a hairline crack extending from the tang toward the butt. The bore is sharp and clean. Dust cover is absent. The lever runs the bolt and lifter, but will not push the hammer all the way to full cock. The hammer will hold half- and full-cock if operated by hand. Here is a nice-looking 44 Winchester for your collection.
