The Winchester 1873 .357 Mag/.38 Spl lever action short rifle is an authentic reproduction of one of America's most iconic firearms—a rifle that shaped the frontier and remains a favorite among cowboy action shooters, hunters, and collectors today. This 20-barrel model chambers both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, letting you shoot the same ammunition your handguns use. With its oil-finished walnut stock, blued steel furniture, and classic profile, it delivers genuine Winchester heritage in a handling package that works just as well at the range or in the field as it does in a display case.
What sets the 1873 apart is its lever-action reliability and straightforward elegance. The action cycles smoothly thanks to a steel loading gate, while the round barrel and full-length magazine tube hold 10 rounds of .357 Mag or 11 rounds of .38 Special. Sights are practical too: a Marble Arms gold bead front and semi-buckhorn rear keep you on target, and the receiver tang is drilled and tapped so you can add an optional tang-mounted rear sight for finer precision if you want it. At 7 pounds 4 ounces and 39 inches overall, it balances speed and control without being a burden to carry.
If you're serious about lever guns—whether you're running cowboy action competitions, hunting medium game, or building a collection of rifles that actually mean something—the Winchester 1873 is the real deal. No clones, no rebrands, just the gun itself: a working rifle with undeniable pedigree and the kind of ergonomic simplicity that has outlasted trends for nearly 150 years.
