Antique WINCHESTER late 2nd Model 1873 .44-40 WCF Lever SADDLE RING CARBINE c1882 Manufactured “GUN THAT WON THE WEST”
Description: Antique WINCHESTER late 2nd Model 1873 .44-40 WCF Lever SADDLE RING CARBINE c1882 Manufactured “GUN THAT WON THE WEST” Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1873 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine in .44-40 WCF, made in 1882 in New Haven, Connecticut. This one falls into the late 2nd Model serial number range (90,000 begins the 3rd Model) but has the machined in dust cover rail on the receiver. 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. Still an icon in the modern day, it was manufactured between 1873 and 1923. It was originally chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, which was the first centerfire cartridge, which became immensely popular. The 1873 was later produced in .38-40, .32-20, and .22 rimfire. The Model 1873 was produced in three variations: a 24-inch barrel rifle, a 20-inch barrel carbine, and a "musket", which was aimed at military contracts and only made up less than 5% of production. In all, over 720,000 Model 1873s were produced. The overall condition is good. Gray patina. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with great rifling and no pitting. The walnut stock has some chipping around the receiver tangs and a short, very stable (does not move even if pressure applied) split off the back of the top tang; solid. There is a replacement screw at the rear of the bottom tang. A nice gun that shows use and is still ready to go! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 20 inches. Caliber: .44-40 Winchester Center Fire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $4245 #227524 SOLD Antique: Yes |
