Taylors and Company 1873 .357 Magnum Lever, Walnut

The Winchester 1873 quickly became an iconic favorite upon its release, following the success of the 1866 model. While Winchester Repeating Arms initially anticipated domestic military sales to drive demand, it was civilian customers and international military orders that propelled the 1873 to commercial success. As the first lever-action rifle to offer a wide range of options, the 1873 was revolutionary in its day and Taylor's continues that tradition with their modern 1873 line, offering a variety of options to suit every shooter. The Taylor's 1873 Straight Stock model exudes classic style, featuring a smooth walnut buttstock and forend paired with a rugged case-hardened frame and blued barrel. For shooters seeking enhanced performance, Taylor's offers two custom action packages. The Comanchero action package includes a custom short-stroke action, lightened hammer and trigger pull, a butt cover, lever wrap and a gold bead front sight for faster, more precise shooting. The Taylor Tuned option offers a custom action with hand polishing, custom hammer and lever springs, a custom magazine tube spring and an overall lightened action, delivering one of the smoothest hammer and trigger pulls available. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or its modern-day performance upgrades, the 1873 Straight Stock model delivers the same reliability and precision that made it a favorite over a century ago, now with even more options to meet the needs of today's shooters.
