Product Description

ANTIQUE Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle 38 WCF

Third Model Made in 1890

Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Third Model Lever Action Rifle, 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. 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.

This rifle features a 24-inch round barrel. The front sight is an adjustable flip up style with both a fine blade and a fine hooded post with a bead. The rear sight is also adjustable, and has 3 leaf options for different distances. It is chambered for .38 WCF, a perfectly capable and revolver compatible cartridge. Both the barrel and the bottom of the frame are marked with the caliber. The receiver tang is marked “MODEL 1873”. The barrel is marked “WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS NEW HAVEN CONN. USA/KINGS IMPROVEMENT PATENTED MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16, 1860”.

The overall condition is good. The receiver shows traces of original blue finish, with the rest of the metal wearing a dark even patina. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock is solid and in very good condition. The bore is well-rifled and will clean up well. The action is functional and in good condition.

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

Barrel is 24 inches in length.

Caliber: .38 WCF
