1873 Comanchero® Carbine 19" .45Lc Case Hardened

The 1866 was already quite popular when the smaller, yet quite similar 1873 model was released. It became an immediate favorite. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company may have thought that domestic military sales would make up most of the orders for the firearm, but in fact, civilian sales and international military purchases were what brought in profit that year. In that day, the 1873 was the first lever action available with a broad variety of options. Today, an array of options is still offered in Taylor's 1873 line. The carbine model features a carbine style buttstock & forend, case hardened frame with blued finish parts, and round barrel. The Comanchero® action package includes a custom short-stroke action, lightened hammer and trigger pull, butt cover, lever wrap, and a brass bead front sight. Our custom actions feature one of the smoothest hammer and trigger pulls on the market.
