Description

There's a reason the 1873 earned the nickname "the gun that won the West," and this Taylors and Company version keeps that legacy alive with a few smart upgrades under the hood. Built by Uberti in Italy and finished off with the Taylor Tuned treatment, this rifle gets a hand-polished action, custom hammer and lever springs, and a custom magazine tube spring. The result is a lever throw that feels broken-in from the first cycle and a lighter overall action that makes fast follow-up work feel effortless.

What the Taylor Tuned 1873 Brings to the Table

The 20 inch full octagon barrel gives this rifle that unmistakable period-correct profile while adding just enough weight up front to keep the muzzle steady through a string of shots. Chambered in .357 Magnum, it also feeds .38 Special, which keeps range days affordable and recoil mild. The 10+1 capacity means plenty of rounds in the tube, and the fixed buckhorn rear and blade front sights are simple, rugged, and true to the original design. At 39 inches overall and around 7.9 pounds, it balances nicely between the hands and swings quickly on steel.

Fit and Finish Worthy of the Name

This is the deluxe pistol grip model, so you get a checkered walnut buttstock and matching checkered forend instead of the standard straight stock. The color case hardened receiver shows off those swirling blues and grays that make every rifle a little different, set against a deep blued octagon barrel. It's the kind of gun people stop and look at on the rack.

Who the 1873 Taylor Tuned Suits Best

Cowboy action competitors will appreciate the tuned internals right away, since the smooth, light action is exactly what you'd pay a gunsmith to do after the fact. It's also a great pick for anyone who wants a classic pistol caliber lever gun for plinking, small game, or just owning a proper piece of Americana that runs as good as it looks. Note that this package uses factory-length stroke, so there are no short-stroke links installed, leaving room to tinker if you go deeper into competition later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Taylors 1873 Taylor Tuned shoot .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum?

Yes. Like most .357 Magnum lever guns, this 1873 will also feed and fire .38 Special, which is a cheaper, softer-shooting option for practice and cowboy action matches. Just keep in mind that switching between the two can leave a carbon ring in the chamber, so give it a good cleaning if you run a lot of .38s before going back to full-power .357.

What exactly does the Taylor Tuned package include on this rifle?

The Taylor Tuned treatment adds a hand-polished action, custom hammer and lever springs, and a custom magazine tube spring for a lighter, smoother action overall. It does not include short-stroke links or any leather accessories, so the lever runs a factory-length stroke. Think of it as the slicked-up action work many owners would otherwise send out for, done before it leaves the shop.

Who makes the Taylors and Company 1873?

Taylors imports this rifle from Uberti of Italy, one of the most respected makers of Winchester 1873 reproductions in the world. Taylors then adds its own tuning work on the Taylor Tuned models before they ship. You get authentic 1873 styling with modern manufacturing quality behind it.

Is this 1873 a good choice for cowboy action shooting?

It's one of the better factory options out there for the sport. The 1873 toggle-link design is a longtime favorite in cowboy action circles because of its smooth cycling, and the tuned springs and polished internals on this model give you a competition-friendly action right out of the box. The 10+1 capacity and mild-recoiling pistol calibers fit typical stage requirements nicely.
