Classic lever-action rifle with 20-inch octagon barrel, color case hardened receiver, and walnut stock. Chambered in 44 Special with 10+1 capacity.
The Cimarron 1873 Short Rifle represents a faithful recreation of one of America's most iconic firearms. This is a rifle built for those who appreciate historical accuracy combined with practical shooting performance.
The 1873 platform has proven itself across generations. The octagon barrel is not merely aesthetic—it provides excellent rigidity while keeping weight manageable. The 20-inch length strikes a balance between handling ease and sight radius, making this rifle equally at home in the saddle or at the range.
The color case hardening on the receiver is applied using traditional methods, creating a unique finish on each rifle. No two receivers will be identical, adding to the character of your firearm.
The 44 Special cartridge delivers moderate recoil with sufficient power for hunting medium game and target shooting. The lever-action mechanism is intuitive and reliable, requiring minimal training for safe operation. The walnut furniture provides a warm, traditional appearance while offering durability for years of use.
This is a rifle for the shooter who values heritage, craftsmanship, and authentic shooting experiences.
