The Model 213W03 is built on the proven 1873 platform—a design that proved itself on cattle drives, in territorial lawmen's hands, and across frontier ranges. If you're drawn to lever-action rifles for their speed, reliability, and that unmistakable mechanical satisfaction, this .45 Colt offers the ballistics and ergonomics that made the 1873 a legend.
Taylors & Company has earned respect among lever-action purists by focusing on correct proportions, honest mechanics, and genuine shooting feel rather than cutting corners. The 1873 platform delivers the smooth cycling and quick follow-up shots that lever-gun enthusiasts expect—whether you're working through a tactical course, hunting medium game, or just spending time at the range with a rifle that rewards good technique. The .45 Colt chambering pairs historic accuracy with modern ammunition availability, giving you a versatile cartridge that works in both rifles and revolvers if you're building a compatible battery.
This is the rifle for shooters who understand that authenticity and function aren't opposing ideas. You get a firearm that handles like a working tool, feels right in your hands, and shoots honestly—no plastic furniture, no mall-ninja aesthetics, just proven design that's been refined over 150 years.
