History and Heritage

The original 1866 Henry rifle laid the foundation for lever-action rifles, but its bronze frame and low-powered .44 Henry rimfire cartridge limited its utility. In 1873, Winchester introduced the steel-framed Model 1873 firing the more potent .44/40 centerfire cartridge, creating a versatile firearm that could serve both as a rifle and coordinate with a revolver using the same ammunition. The Uberti 1873 Short Rifle faithfully recreates this legendary firearm while offering the modern advantage of a .357 Magnum chambering for enhanced versatility and stopping power.
