FANTASTIC Antique .22 Long WINCHESTER Model 1873 Lever Action RIFLE Made 1885
Description: FANTASTIC Antique .22 Long WINCHESTER Model 1873 Lever Action RIFLE Made 1885 First .22 Repeating Rifle in the US! Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .22 Long, made in 1885 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 Winchester 1873 in .22 caliber was the first made-in-America repeating .22 rimfire rifle. It is no scaled down version of the ’73 either, but a full length, full weight rifle, chambered in .22 caliber. This was Winchester’s only .22 caliber rifle for quite a long time. Many of the famous American/Western trick shooters used these in their shows. Only 19,552 of the 720,610 Model 1873s produced were in .22 caliber, making these quite scarce for collectors. .22 Short seems also to outnumber those in .22 Long. This one features original blue finish, some neat little brass diamond inlays in the stock, as well as a Marbles tang-mounted peep sight. The front sight has been replaced. The overall condition is Fine. The action is strong. The bore is clean with good rifling. A great example of the difficult to find .22 Long Winchester Model 1873 with some character! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .22 Long 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 $4500 #20625 SOLD Antique: Yes |
