1890 Antique WINCHESTER Model 1873 .38-40 WCF RIFLE Cowboy Wild West Oliver
The “GUN THAT WON THE WEST”
Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .38-40 WCF, made in 1890 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. The .38-40 was actually a .40 caliber bullet and shares approximate ballistics to the modern .40 S&W cartridge.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore contains light pitting around the middle but remains semi-bright with a nice shimmer; thin rifling. The stock has been lightly refinished and is solid. A great example of one of Winchester’s most famous rifles from the 19th Century!
