The bronze frame and the low power of the original .44 Henry rimfire cartridge limited the 1866 rifle&39s versatility. In 1873, continuing the process of improving the lever action design, Winchester introduced a new steel-framed rifle firing the more potent .44/40 center fire cartridge. The Model 1873 firmly established the lever action as an American standard-the weapon that truly &34Won the West.” Uberti offers several variances: the Carbine with 19″ barrel; the 20″ barrel Short Rifle; the Sporting Rifle with 24-1/4″ barrel (specify round or half-octagon); and the Special Sporting Rifle, with select walnut pistol-grip stock. Available in .357, .44/40 and .45 Colt.
