WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SHORT RIFLE COLOR CASE HARDENED
Product Information & Specs
The Model 1873 is Winchester's most famous lever-action repeating rifle and has earned itself the title of "The Gun That Won the West". Originally manufactured from 1873 to 1923, the rifle has been reintroduced to the civilian market by popular demand and has since become an icon of the American West with the famous Forgotten Winchester incident in 2014 where an original production rifle was found leaning against a tree in Great Basin National Park undisturbed for nearly a century. The rifles feature a side loading gate for easy loading along with a single action hammer that allows the firearm to remain loaded in a safe condition by dropping the hammer.
This model is a throwback to classic designs and features a color case hardened receiver finish, rifle-style forearm cap and a classic crescent type stock. The shorter 20-inch barrel makes for a more compact and easily maneuverable package excellent for brush hunting or fast action shooting. It is chambered in .44-40 Winchester with a 10-round magazine capacity.

WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
