The Legend Lives: Cimarron's 1866 Yellowboy

Design & Heritage
The 1866 earned its nickname from Native American tribes who prized the rifle for its golden brass frame. It was also called the "Improved Henry" due to its revolutionary side-loading gate, a feature that made the rifle significantly more practical than its predecessor. This Short Rifle variant features a 20-inch octagon barrel that balances handling characteristics with practical velocity.
