Known around the world as “The Gun that Won the West,” Winchester’s Model 1873 is certainly among the icons. Turnbull Restoration is famous for its dedication to timeless classics, and we’re proud to offer our version of Winchester’s legendary lever action rifle.

This special configuration is only available through Turnbull Restoration. Starting with a factory-new Winchester 1873 Sporter Octagon Pistol Grip model, we apply our signature charcoal blueing to the receiver, forend cap and small parts while color case hardening the hand-engraved lever, hammer and butt plate. Speaking of hand engraving, the dust cover and forend cap receive our distinct scrollwork as well.

The 24″ barrel and magazine tube are rust blued. Screws, pins and loading gate are treated to eye-grabbing nitre blue. The receiver top tang is drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight. To round things out, we finish the checkered stocks in a hand-rubbed oil finish to match the classic red shading made famous by the original Winchester examples. 

Our Model 1873 is offered in .44-40 Win or .45 Colt. Cowboy Action Shooters love the fact that the rifle fires the same ammunition as their revolvers. In addition, competitors love the ultra-smooth lever action.
