Winchester 1873 Carbine | .45 Long Colt | 20″ | 534255141

The Winchester Model 1873 Carbine is a traditional lever-action chambered in .45 Long Colt with a 20-inch round sporter barrel and a satin-oiled walnut straight-grip stock. It carries a blued finish on the barrel and receiver, fixed ladder-style rear and blade front sights, and a receiver top tang drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight. The classic handling and period-correct furniture make this a practical choice for field use and Cowboy Action competition. For a low-profile optic that pairs well with the carbine, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope, which provides a useful magnification range and robust construction while remaining well under typical premium optic price points.

Applications: Cowboy Action shooting and field shooting/hunting where a traditional lever-action platform and matching revolver caliber are desired.
