Detailed Review
The Winchester Model 1873 is a lever-action rifle that was produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1873 to 1919. It is often referred to as the "Gun that Won the West" due to its popularity and use by frontiersmen and cowboys during the late 19th century.
The Model 1873 was designed by John Moses Browning, who went on to become one of the most famous firearms designers in history. The rifle was chambered in a variety of calibers, including .44-40 Winchester, .38-40 Winchester, and .32-20 Winchester. It had a tubular magazine that held up to 15 rounds and a 24-inch barrel. The rifle was also known for its distinctive brass receiver, which gave it a unique appearance.
One of the reasons for the Model 1873's popularity was its reliability and durability. It was well-suited for the rough conditions of the American West, and its ability to fire rapidly made it a favorite among those who needed a reliable firearm in dangerous situations. It was particularly popular among ranchers, who used it to protect their herds from predators.
The Model 1873 was also used by law enforcement agencies, such as the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Marshals Service. It was even used by the military, although in limited numbers. The rifle's popularity continued into the 20th century, and it was still being produced as late as 1919.
Today, the Model 1873 is considered a classic firearm and is highly sought after by collectors. Its distinctive appearance and historical significance make it one of the most iconic rifles in American history.

Second time's the charm: First rifle arrived at my FFL damaged, courtesy of Fed ex, and had to return it to Buds. The second rifle arrived more intact (box damage, but the rifle itself was fine) Wood is absolutely gorgeous; looks like the tiger eye rock
