SCARCE Antique .22 Cal WINCHESTER 1873 Lever Rifle
FEWER THAN 20K MADE! First US .22 REPEATING RIFLE!
Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .22 Short, made in 1889 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester 1873 in .22 caliber was the first made-in-America repeating .22 rimfire rifle. It is no scaled down version of the ’73 either, but a full length, full weight rifle, chambered in .22 caliber. This was Winchester’s only .22 caliber rifle for quite a long time. Many of the famous American/Western trick shooters used these in their shows. Only 19,552 of the 720,610 Model 1873s produced were in .22 caliber, making these quite scarce for collectors.
The overall condition is good. This rifle was no safe queen, but it still has about 40% of the blue finish with a gray patina throughout. The markings are legible. The walnut stock shows much use. The bore is dark with thin rifling. The action is strong. The trigger is pretty light and the extractor has been replaced. Own a scarce historical Winchester 1873 in the fabulous .22 Short!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
