There's a reason the 1873 earned the nickname "The Gun That Won the West." When Winchester released it, the design became an immediate hit, and it was the first lever action offered with a wide range of options and configurations. This Taylor's & Company compact carbine keeps that legacy alive with a 16.125 inch round blued barrel, a steel frame with an improved loading gate, and the toggle-link action that made the original such a pleasure to run. Manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's, the fit and finish here is what you'd expect from one of the most respected names in reproduction firearms.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 9-round tubular magazine, this carbine is a natural for cowboy action matches, plinking sessions, or anyone who wants to pair a rifle with their single action revolver in the same caliber. The toggle-link action on the 1873 is known for being one of the smoothest lever designs ever made, and the short 16.125 inch barrel keeps the whole rifle at about 35 inches overall. That makes it quick out of a scabbard, easy to swing between targets, and comfortable to shoot all day at around 7.2 pounds. Sighting is handled the traditional way with a fixed blade up front and a ladder rear, which suits the classic lines of the gun.
The walnut buttstock and forend wear a warm finish that pairs nicely with the deep blued metalwork, giving this carbine the authentic look of the originals without the antique price tag or the worry of shooting a 150 year old rifle. If you ever want to take things further, Taylor's offers custom action work across the 1873 line, but straight out of the box this carbine runs slick and cycles .45 Colt loads reliably. For cowboy action competitors, western history fans, or anyone who just appreciates a lever gun done right, this one checks all the boxes.
This carbine is manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's & Company in Virginia. Uberti has built its reputation on faithful, high quality reproductions of classic American firearms, and the 1873 is one of their signature models. You get period-correct looks with modern manufacturing standards.
It's one of the most popular platforms in the sport. The toggle-link action cycles very smoothly, the .45 Colt chambering pairs perfectly with single action revolvers, and the short 16.125 inch barrel handles quickly between targets. Taylor's also offers tuned action packages on the 1873 line if you want a competition-ready setup later on.
No, this carbine is chambered specifically for .45 Long Colt and should only be fed that cartridge. The 1873 toggle-link design is also intended for standard pressure .45 Colt loads, not heavy magnum-level handloads. Standard factory ammo and cowboy loads are right in its wheelhouse.
The compact carbine trims the barrel to 16.125 inches, which brings overall length down to about 35 inches and drops some weight compared to the 19, 20, and 24 inch versions. It wears a carbine-style buttstock and forend with a round barrel instead of the octagonal barrel found on many rifle variants. The result is a quicker handling gun that still holds 9 rounds in the tube.
