The Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifle carries forward the classic lever-action design associated with the original rifle that earned the name the gun that won the West. This modern version retains the traditional profile while adding an improved manual safety for contemporary use. Chambered in .45 Colt, it features a 20-inch blue-finished barrel, a 10-round tubular magazine, and a Grade I oil-finished wood stock and forend. Standard iron sights and a 39-inch overall length make it a practical choice for traditional rifle enthusiasts and lever-action shooting.
