Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Winchester 1873 earned its reputation the hard way, out on the frontier, and Taylors & Company keeps that story alive with this Uberti-made reproduction from Italy. This version pairs an 18 inch octagonal barrel in a rich blue finish with a case hardened frame that shows off those swirling bone-charcoal colors that make an old-west rifle look right. The smooth walnut straight stock and forend round out a package that feels like it stepped out of 1873, minus the wear and tear.
Chambering the 1873 in .357 Magnum was a smart move. You get affordable, easy-to-find ammo, and the rifle will happily run .38 Special for soft-recoiling practice sessions or cowboy action matches. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds, which meets the requirement for SASS competition, and the toggle-link action cycles with that short, slick lever throw the 1873 is famous for. At 7.39 pounds with an overall length just under 37 inches, the shorter 18 inch barrel keeps the rifle lively in the hands and quick moving between targets.
Sighting is handled the traditional way with a dovetailed blade up front and a buckhorn rear, both drift adjustable for windage. It is a simple, proven setup that pairs naturally with the rifle's period-correct lines. The tapered octagon barrel adds a touch of weight out front that helps steady your hold without making the gun feel muzzle heavy.
Whether you are building a cowboy action rig, adding a proper lever gun to the safe, or just want a rifle with real character that is genuinely fun to shoot, this one delivers. Uberti's fit and finish on these reproductions is consistently impressive, and the .357 chambering means you will shoot it a lot more than a wall-hanger. This is the kind of rifle that gets passed around at the range and comes home with a smile attached.
Yes. Like a .357 Magnum revolver, this rifle will chamber and fire .38 Special without any issue. A lot of owners run .38s for cheap, soft-shooting practice and cowboy action matches, then load .357 Mag when they want more punch. Just note that some lever guns can be a little picky about very short bullet profiles, so it is worth testing a few loads.
This rifle is a natural fit for cowboy action competition. The 1873 pattern is one of the most popular platforms in the sport, and the 10 round magazine covers the round count required for SASS stages. The short 18 inch barrel also helps with fast transitions between targets.
It is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, then imported and sold under the Taylors & Company name. Uberti has been building reproduction Winchester and Colt pattern firearms for decades and is widely regarded as the standard for quality in this category. Fit, finish, and the case hardened colors on these guns are consistently well done.
The rifle wears a traditional dovetailed blade front sight and a buckhorn rear sight. Both sit in dovetails, so windage is adjusted by drifting the sights left or right. Elevation on the buckhorn rear is handled with the sliding elevator, just like the originals.
