Product Description

1890 Antique WINCHESTER Model 1873 .32-20 WCF Caliber LEVER ACTION Rifle  

Iconic Repeating Rifle Chambered In .32 Winchester Center Fire

Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .32-20 WCF, made in 1890 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. 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 centrefire cartridge, and which became immensely popular. The 1873 was later produced in .38-40, .32-20, and .22. 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.

This one features a 24-inch octagon barrel chambered for .32-20 WCF, a classic cartridge that would have made a fantastic companion to a Colt Single Action Army Revolver in the same.

This one has been there and done that! The exterior finish is lightly pitted throughout and gray. The action is strong. The lever does sag a bit if not retained by the latch. The bore is mostly clean with thin rifling, getting a bit pitted nearer the muzzle. The walnut stock shows use and weathering and the butt stock is a bit shy to the steel parts. The butt plate is still a bit rusty.

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

Barrel is 24 inches.

Caliber: .32-20 Winchester Center Fire
