Product Description
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 straight stock model features a
classic smooth walnut buttstock and forend. Taylor's also offers two
custom action options on all 1873 models. The Comanchero® action package
includes a custom short-stroke action, lightened hammer and trigger
pull, butt cover, lever wrap, and gold bead front sight. The Taylor
Tuned option includes a custom action with hand polishing, custom hammer
and lever springs, custom magazine tube spring, and an overall
lightened action. Our custom actions feature one of the smoothest hammer
and trigger pulls on the market.
