ANTIQUE Winchester 1873 Lever Action .32-20 Rifle
.32-20 WCF Octagonal Barrel Rifle Made in 1891
Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Third Model Lever Action Rifle in .32-20 WCF, made in 1891 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. One could easily defend the homestead and provide for his family with this versatile weapon. 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 octagonal barrel in .32-20 WCF. The top of the barrel is marked “WINCHESTER’S REPEATINGS ARMS NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A./KING’S IMPROVEMENT PATENTED MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16 1860”. The rear of the barrel is marked “32 W.C.F.” The tang is marked “MODEL 1873”. The dust cover has been removed. This was done by some who didn’t want the possible hindrance of cycling the action quickly and reliably.
The overall condition is very good. The steel has taken on a brown color. The markings are clear. The walnut stock remains in great shape with a sliver out of the right side of the forearm that gives this one some character and that “been there, done that” look. The bore is in very good shape, clean with visible rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a nice Winchester ’73 that absolutely looks the part!
