Description:
WILD WEST Era Antique WINCHESTER M1873 Lever Action .44-40 WCF SR CARBINE 

1885 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 1885 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 1873 is one of the most iconic of all the 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 overall condition is good. Gray patina. The action is strong. The bore is dim with a ring about 7 inches from the breech; decent rifling. The forestock has some short, stable splits; the butt stock is a replacement with no butt plate. The wood has been refinished.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 20 inches.
