c1882 mfr. Antique WINCHESTER 1873 Lever Action .44-40 WCF Repeating RIFLE
Iconic Repeater Made in 1882 and Chambered In .44-40!
Description: c1882 mfr. Antique WINCHESTER 1873 Lever Action .44-40 WCF Repeating RIFLE Iconic Repeater Made in 1882 and Chambered In .44-40! Here we present an antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in .44-40 WCF, made in 1882 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. The overall condition is very good. Original finish/patina. Strong, crisp action. Bright bore with good rifling. The stock is of the so-called shotgun variety. The rear sight is an old replacement. It is solid but does contain a small, stable crack atop the comb at the tip of the butt plate tang. A very nice piece of American history from 1882! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .44-40 Winchester Center Fire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $4600 #210505 SOLD Antique: Yes |
