Overview

"The Gun that Won the West."

150 years ago, the revered Winchester Model 1873 began its historic run. Similar to the earlier Model 1866 "Yellow Boy," the '73 traded the brass alloy receiver for iron, adding strength and other improvements such as a dust cover that covered the loading/ejection port. Fortunately for Winchester, the release of the '73 coincided with unbridled expansion into the untamed region of the American West, which caused demand for these reliable rifles to soar. During the course of the next few decades, the Model 1873 was used by cowboys, Native Americans, ranchers, farmers, pioneers, law enforcement agents and outlaws alike. It was in their hands that the legend of the Model 1973 was forged.

Here at Winchester Repeating Arms we still know a great deal about "legends." After all, our product line is full of them. But few will match the look, feel and function of this very special octagon-barreled, 150th Anniversary commemorative Model 1873. This rifle exemplifies the lever-action genre with butter smooth operation and a walnut stock that is accented by deeply blued steel components that feature gold-enhanced engraving.

If you envision one of these finely crafted, historic rifles for your own, don't delay. Production is limited.
