Reproduction of the Model 1873 repeating lever action rifle, with simulating loading, firing and casing ejection mechanism.
This is arguably Denix's most realistic replica yet.
The Model 1873 was a repeating rifle with lever action, that is, it allowed several shots to be fired before reloading, ejecting the old casing and replacing it with a new one by operating a lever attached to the trigger guard; hence the term "repeating rifle".
The Model 1873 was the most widely used rifle of its time, due to its steel structure and because it used the same central percussion cartridges as revolvers of that period. That allowed the shooter to carry two different weapons with the same type of ammunition. It was produced in such big quantities that it became a common element in the western United States, receiving the nickname of "The gun that won the West", due to its roots and versatility. It was the inspiration for the film "Winchester '73," shot in 1950, starring with James Stewart and directed by Anthony Mann.
Travel to the American western with the historical reproduction of this DENIX rifle, a weapon very appreciated by historical reenactors and weapon collectors!
Authentic in detail. You can also use it for that Theatrical Presentations!
