Winchester 1873 .44 WCF Half Magazine Case Hardened Special Order 1881 Factory Letter Nice
Description: Winchester 1873 .44 WCF Half Magazine Case Hardened Special Order 1881 Nice Description: Here we present a very nice Second Model 1873 Winchester Lever Action Rifle chambered in the desirable .44-40 WCF caliber, made in 1881 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 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 to this day, they were manufactured between 1873 and 1923 were originally chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, which was the first centerfire cartridge which became immensely popular. 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 particular 1873 features a rare special order 26" octagon barrel and half magazine tube. The frame was color case hardened and the overall condition is still very good. Excellent action. The bore is bright and remains nicely rifled. The iron sights are likely later upgrades. The wood is in very good condition and does not have any cracks or chips, only your typical handling marks for a gun of its age. This rifle is right onthe line to left alone as a lovely original rifle or an excellent candidate for a complete restoration. If you are a Winchester collector or just want to own an iconic piece of American history, here is your chance!
