Historical Significance of the 1873 Sporting Rifle
The original Model 1866 featured a bronze frame and was chambered in the low-powered .44 Henry rimfire cartridge. While groundbreaking for its time, it had limitations in both strength and firepower. In 1873, Winchester improved the design by introducing a steel frame capable of handling the new .44/40 centerfire round. This innovation gave the rifle more power, extended range, and made it the standard firearm of settlers, lawmen, and outlaws across the frontier. The Uberti 1873 Sporting Rifle pays homage to this pivotal moment in firearms history, offering modern shooters a chance to own a piece of the Old West.
