There are plenty of 1873 reproductions out there, but the Comanchero from Taylors & Company is a different animal. This one leaves the shop with a gunsmith-installed action package that includes a short-stroke kit, a lightened hammer and trigger pull, a leather lever wrap, a buckskin butt cover, and a gold bead front sight. In plain terms, that means the lever moves less distance per cycle, the trigger breaks lighter, and follow-up shots come faster. It is the kind of work competitors usually pay to have done after the fact, already handled before the rifle hits your hands.
The 1873 toggle-link action has been the go-to platform for cowboy action shooting for decades because it cycles smoothly and feeds pistol cartridges reliably. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this Comanchero holds 10+1 and also happily runs .38 Special, which is what most competitors feed these rifles for soft recoil and quick sight recovery. The 18 inch octagon barrel keeps the rifle quick to swing between targets while giving pistol-caliber loads plenty of room to build velocity.
Speed work aside, this is simply a good-looking rifle. The color case hardened receiver shows off those swirling blues and grays that made the originals famous, set against a deep blued octagon barrel. The walnut straight stock and forend wear crisp checkering for a solid grip, and the leather touches on the lever and buttstock add both comfort and a bit of old-west character. An adjustable rear sight pairs with the gold bead up front, which stands out well against dark steel targets.
At around 7.7 pounds with a 37 inch overall length, the Comanchero balances nicely between the hands and settles quickly on target. Whether you are chasing faster stage times or just want a top-shelf 1873 that runs slick from day one, this rifle earns its spot in the safe.
Yes. Like most .357 Magnum lever guns, this rifle will feed and fire .38 Special without any changes. In fact, most cowboy action competitors run .38 Special through these rifles because the lighter recoil helps with fast transitions between targets.
The Comanchero package is a gunsmith upgrade applied to the standard 1873 platform. It includes a custom short-stroke action, a lightened hammer and trigger pull, a buckskin butt cover, a leather lever wrap, and a gold bead front sight. The result is a rifle that cycles faster and shoots smoother than a factory-standard 1873.
It is. The short-stroke kit and tuned trigger are the two upgrades most competitors add to a stock 1873, and this rifle ships with both already installed and fitted. Pair it with .38 Special loads and it is match-ready the day you bring it home.
Taylors & Company imports its 1873 rifles from Uberti in Italy, a maker known for faithful, well-fitted reproductions of classic American lever guns. Taylor's then adds the Comanchero action work, so you get Italian craftsmanship with a competition-grade tune.
