The Uberti 1873 Carbine Steel Rifle U342800 is a masterfully crafted reproduction of the legendary Winchester Model 1873, chambered in the classic .45 Colt. Featuring a 19-inch round barrel, case-hardened lever, and premium A-grade walnut stock, this carbine offers both historical authenticity and modern reliability. Known as the “Gun that Won the West,” the Model 1873 set the standard for lever-action rifles and remains a favorite among collectors, hunters, and recreational shooters alike.
Historical Significance of the Model 1873
The original Henry rifle of 1866 revolutionized repeating firearms but was limited by its bronze frame and the relatively low-powered .44 Henry rimfire cartridge. By 1873, Winchester introduced the steel-framed Model 1873, firing the more potent .44/40 centerfire cartridge. Uberti’s reproduction in .45 Colt offers modern shooters a classic caliber that combines historical authenticity with practical performance. The Model 1873 firmly established lever-action rifles as an American standard, earning its legendary status on the frontier and in American history.
Compact Design and Practical Performance
This 19-inch barrel carbine is perfectly balanced for handling, portability, and accuracy. Weighing 7.4 lbs and measuring 38 inches in overall length, it is ideal for hunting, target shooting, or general plinking. With a 10+1 capacity, shooters can enjoy extended sessions without frequent reloading. The .45 Colt cartridge offers substantial stopping power, making it a versatile choice for medium game and recreational shooting, while maintaining the classic feel of an Old West rifle.
