The John Wayne Tribute 1873 Rifle is a limited-edition, fully functional commemorative firearm honoring the legacy of the legendary American actor. Built by A. Uberti on the iconic Model 1873 platform and chambered in .45 Long Colt, it features deep blue mirror-polished metalwork, 24-karat gold inlays, and finely checkered walnut stocks. Each Tribute rifle is decorated by craftsmen specifically commissioned by America Remembers, showcasing detailed Western scenes, John Wayne’s signature, and a gold-plated medallion bearing his portrait. With only 3,500 produced, this rifle is a stunning collector’s piece that blends historical firearm craftsmanship with a powerful tribute to a cultural icon. What truly sets this tribute rifle apart is its extraordinary visual presentation. Every metal surface of the firearm has been finished in a deep, mirror-polished bluing, while the receiver is richly adorned with 24-karat gold inlay and scroll engraving in the style of traditional presentation-grade firearms. On the left side of the barrel is John Wayne’s signature, while the stock is fitted with a striking gold-plated medallion bearing his likeness and the words “John Wayne – American." The rifle is not merely decorative, but immersive; it tells a story through its visuals. One side of the receiver showcases a scene of Wayne leading the U.S. Cavalry through the iconic terrain of Monument Valley, a staple setting in many of his classic Westerns. The other side captures a moment from the painting Under Attack by Frank McCarthy, depicting Wayne as a determined wagon train scout. These illustrations are more than embellishments—they are visual tributes to Wayne’s most memorable roles and the spirit of American perseverance he personified. The original 1873 Winchester, often referred to as “The Gun that Won the West," was celebrated for its reliability and widespread use during the late 19th century. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a competitive shooter, or a collector, the Uberti 1873 Deluxe Carbine offers a combination of historical authenticity, modern craftsmanship, and shooting pleasure that makes it a standout piece in any collection. Includes original paperwork.
