Description:
Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Rifle in 38-40WCF

Condition:
The condition of this Winchester 1873 rifle is fine overall. The metal surfaces retain much of its original blue finish with some parts turning to a faded gray/brown patina over the balance. There is some slight spotting and very mild pitting in some places and scattered pitting. The bore is partially frosted with mostly bright, crisp, and sharp rifling. The legends remain strong and with the brass lifter having a mild aged patina to it with the caliber marking strong. The screw heads are in excellent condition with no slot wear. The stocks are also in fine condition they have been gone over at some point in the distant past and show some scratches and a few dings from use. The rifle cycles a round well and locks up tight and is in excellent mechanical condition.
These Winchester 1873 rifles and carbines still remain popular even after 150 years and are still made by Winchester/Miroku, Uberti, and a few others. They are a popular model rifle for Cowboy Action Shooting. But there is still a demand for originals and ones in good shape are increasing in value. This one was manufactured in 1905 and although used was very well taken care of and ones in this condition are getting harder to find. This is the nicest one we have had in a few years.
