Winchester Model 1873 Competition Carbine: A Legend Refined
The Winchester Model 1873 earned its place in history as "The Gun That Won the West," and this Competition Carbine honors that legacy while delivering modern performance enhancements for the shooting line.
Why Cowboy Action Shooters Choose the 1873
The Model 1873 fires the same ammunition as popular revolver cartridges—a critical advantage for competitors who want to carry one caliber. This rifle pairs seamlessly with your handgun, simplifying logistics and reducing cost.
Competition-Ready Performance
This isn't a standard 1873. Winchester has tuned the action specifically for speed:
- Performance-tuned short-stroke lever action reduces cycling time when competing against the clock
- Smoother, faster lever stroke keeps you on target between shots
- Steel loading gate engineered for rapid, reliable feeding
Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel
- Grade III/IV walnut stock with satin oil finish—smooth and elegant
- Color case-hardened receiver, buttplate, and barrel band—authentic period appearance with modern durability
- Polished blued 20" round barrel with full-length magazine tube
- Barrel band and saddle ring maintain the classic carbine profile
Sight Options
The receiver's top tang is drilled and tapped for an optional peep sight, allowing you to customize your sight picture for precision shooting. (Sight sold separately.)
The Bottom Line
This is a genuine Winchester Repeating Arms rifle—not a copy or a compromise. It combines historical authenticity with competition-proven enhancements, making it the choice for serious Cowboy Action Shooters who demand both heritage and performance.
