Developed from the Henry rifle and the 1866 "Yellow Boy", the 1873 lever-action repeater achieved fame in the Jimmie Stewart movie "Winchester '73". During its production run, from 1873 to 1919, about 720,000 pieces were made in Winchester's Connecticut factory. The gun was available in several center-fire calibers and its tubular magazine was located underneath the barrel. This classic Old West rifle features working lever action, engraved receiver and heavy octagonal barrel. Complete w/wood stock & saddle ring. A classic display piece for your office or home. This non-firing version clearly demonstrates the workings of the lever-action loading system. KEY FEATURES: MEASUREMENTS: |
