Cimarron 1873 .45 Colt Lever Action, Checkered Walnut - CA2011G35

Possibly the most iconic rifle from the days of the Old West, Winchesters initial centerfire firearm rolled off the assembly line between 1873 and 1919, with an impressive production tally exceeding 541,000 units before 1900. Ever since its debut, this lever-action rifle has held a special place in the hearts of frontier enthusiasts. It emerged in a diverse array of forms, ranging from compact Trapper models and carbines to rifles with both abbreviated and elongated barrels. Mere years after its 1873 introduction, this rifle often found itself paired with the renowned 1873 peacemaker and other six-shooters tailored to its .44-40 (.44WCF), .38-40 (.38 WCF) and .32-20 (.32 WCF) ammunition. Emerging as the favored choice of the post-1874 Texas Rangers, this distinctive slab-sided saddle rifle also garnered favor among illustrious figures of the wild West, including Pat Garrett, William F. Cody, Montana Rancher Granville Stuart, as well as infamous outlaws like Butch Cassidy, Belle Starr and Billy the Kid. Cimarron sets itself apart by presenting a broader spectrum of variations than any other company, spanning from unembellished models to fully engraved ones, featuring hand-checkered pistol-gripped stocks. Barrel lengths extend from a compact 16 inches to a substantial 30 inches. Available calibers encompass .32-20, .38 Special/.357 Magnum, .38/40, .44 Special/.44 Magnum, .44-40 and .45 Colt. Cimarrons 73 models are available in standard Blue, charcoal blue or original finish and come with either straight walnut stocks or deluxe models boasting collector-quality, hand-checkered pistol-grip stocks. From the saddle ring carbine to the long range sporting rifle, akin to the original iterations, Cimarrons 1873 lever-action guns are heralded as the epitome of excellence.
