Description
Uberti’s 1873 rifles allow shooters to have both a lever-action rifle and a single-action revolver chambered for the same round, and only need one cartridge belt. Uberti has recreated the 1873 in seven distinctive models. Take advantage of your opportunity to own a treasured piece of American history.
Like the 1860 Henry, the 1873 lever rifle also included a lever lock to ensure the lever remained securely in place.
Arguably the most famous American-made rifle in history, the 1873 Winchester lever-action rifle was successfully marketed as “The Gun That Won the West.” So popular was this firearm that it remained in production until 1923, years after newer lever-action designs were available. In all, more than 720,000 1873 rifles were produced over a period of 50 years.
Winchester initiated a special promotion for the rifle in 1875. Barrels were test-fired by Winchester and those producing the best groupings out of 1,000 barrels were fitted to rifles with set triggers and a special finish. These celebrated rifles were marked “One of One Thousand” and sold at a premium price that, adjusted for inflation, would cost about $2,310 today. It’s believed 136 of these rifles were made. The classic Western movie “Winchester ‘73” starring Jimmy Stewart is a story about one of these prized “One of a Thousand” rifles, and the 1873 Winchester has appeared in dozens of other movies and TV shows over the last 100 years.
