Product Overview

The Winchester 1873 Short Rifle in .44-40 Win is a genuine lever-action carbine that bridges history and practicality. Chambered in the classic .44-40 Winchester cartridge—a round that defined the American frontier—this 20-barrel rifle combines authentic period styling with reliable Winchester engineering. Whether you're a cowboy action shooter, collector, or someone who appreciates working rifles with genuine heritage, the 1873 delivers the handling characteristics and ballistics of a rifle that actually won the West, not a modern interpretation of one.

The rifle's 10-round capacity pairs with a straightforward loading gate and full-length magazine tube, making it practical for sustained shooting or competition. The oiled walnut stock wears a satin finish that feels natural in hand, while blued steel components—including the crescent buttplate and forearm cap—echo the original's aesthetic without sacrificing modern manufacturing consistency. The rear tang is drilled and tapped, so you can add a tang-mounted rear sight for more refined aim if you choose, though the semi-buckhorn rear sight paired with the brass bead front sight gets you on target quickly from the box.

At 7 pounds 4 ounces and 39 inches overall, the 1873 Short Rifle balances well for someone who hunts or shoots lever guns regularly. The 1:26 twist is optimized for .44-40 ammunition. If you shoot cowboy action sports or reload handgun rounds for a revolver, the shared cartridge means less inventory to manage. This is a working rifle with legitimate credentials—not a safe queen.

We only ship firearms to valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders. At checkout we provide a FFL locator for your convenience.

We will need a copy of the FFL’s license to facilitate the process, kindly request your dealer to email us a copy of their FFL, as we cannot dispatch the firearm until we receive this document. It is imperative for the buyer to choose their FFL dealer, ensure they are willing to facilitate the transfer, and have them email their FFL copy to BOSQUE Outdoors.
