The Winchester Model 1873 Carbine is a classic lever-action rifle chambered in .45 Colt. Its 20 inch round barrel, carbine-style forearm, straight-grip Grade I walnut stock, and steel carbine strap buttplate preserve the handling and appearance associated with the original Model 1873. A polished blue finish complements the traditional configuration, while the saddle ring adds practical utility for carry in the field. The rifle feeds from a 10-round tubular magazine and uses a blade front sight with a ladder-style rear sight. The receiver is drilled and tapped for an optional peep sight. At 39 inches overall and weighing 7 pounds 4 ounces, this carbine is suited to ranch use, hunting in heavy cover, recreational shooting, and Cowboy Action Shooting.
