- The Winchester model 1873 is referred to by many as "the gun that won the west." Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, presents the features of this famous firearm in this GunTec presentation. Produced from 1873 to 1923, with over 700,000 guns produced, the model 1873 has become one of the most sought after collectables in the firearms industry. The particular gun examined in this presentation was chambered in 44-40 WCF.

@jaesong as a army weapon, yes. But many people still have them for hunting, target shooting and for collecting. It's great to have a piece of history.
Super!!! 👍👍👍Winchester. 🇺🇲 🇸🇰
always had interests in old guns
I thank you for wanting to learn rather than hate.
Always amazes me how little guns have changed since.
Something about the wear of the finish on this 73 and a real steel saddle ring is so beutifal about this particular rifle
@sgtsnipe99 I remember that movie. I always liked westerns with Jimmy Stewart in them. Good movie.
An awersome rifle! :)
Doob is living the dream!
hello i have the exact same carbine cal .44 rem mag and a was wondering what kind of scope could i use on it or if there are any sights available for it.
No gun is truly obsolete if someone takes the time to learn to use it correctly. A Winchester 73' will still take a deer down today. It may not be the perfect rifle for the job, but it WILL work and pretty damned well, actually.
Heavydagger the .44-40 rifle is basically the same as a .44 Magnum handgun with the accuracy of a rifle.
cool video it s my favoritt gun the 1873 win tums upp
Well technically they were, just in the form of magazine fed bolt action rifles. But if you mean why didn't they use guns such as this 1873 winchester, is simply because many of this old west rifles and carbines, were chambered in pistol cartridges such as .44-40 .38-40 which is fine for a cowboy who is also carrying a pistol, and needa lightweight rifle for hunting small game, but maybe too underpowered for a primary military weapon, notenough stopping power at long ranges. But still great guns
@MrBfd0412 - For my Browning SA 22 rifle, I called Browning and they transferred my call to the library guy. He took my serial # and looked it up. It came back as being built in1958, so their records do go back a ways. I believe that Smith & Wesson does the same. Perhaps Winchester does, as well. Can't image why they wouldn't. Good Luck...
That could be my future plan :)
Any idea how that saddle ring attached to the receiver?
It´s a shame.. the Winchester is such a nice weapon.
How many rounds does this thing hold in the magazine?
It holds 12 rounds.
I have a original 1873 Winchester it’s my most prized firearm
the only gun to have a movie named after it.
Why dont the replicas have the true 20in barrel and magazine?
well ... we do not have a complete ban. . Hunting Weapons are still allowed if you have a hunting license .. But the rifle barrel must have a certain length, in this case, that Winchester would be prohibited. Automatic Weapon requires special permission that is hard to get .. hell I can not even wear a utility knife in my work pants without a permit from the police.
ah, how the memories of old westerns spring to mind, but i've never noticed a bar actuate the hammer when the lever is used, did they all do that or just on this particular rifle?
These lever guns were wonderful!. The most asked question is WHY the U.S. Military did not embrace them. Its mostly money & tactics. Military doctrine of the day was infantry and dismounted cavalry shooting. Troopers would form a line and volley fire on command. The military liked to range 20-500 yards with large caliber rounds for massive wound damage. Plus many older springfield muskets could be converted to cartridge fire cheaper than replacing the entire arsenal. The leverguns were to expensive and came in small pistol calibers with lower powder charges considered to small for normal military use. About the time smokeless powder came about and chamber pressure increased to make pistol cartridges viable in rifles the bolt action was developed and adopted for military use because it was easier and cheaper to maintain and repair over the lever guns. Money & tactical doctrine kept the lever action mainly to civilian use and a small percentage of military officers who could afford them.
Sweden?
then do what i will do ( i live in the uk ) move to the states
here in Canada i can get one for about 75 bucks!
Que hermoso rifler

anyone know why we didnt use reapeter rifles in the mexican american war and ww1
Well in the Mexican War, they hadn't been invented yet; if you are talking about the Spanish-American War, we were using the Krag-Jorgensen bolt-action repeater by then. And, of course, the Springfield 1903 bolt-action that was supposed to be our issue rifle in World War One was a repeater also. If, by repeater, you only mean lever-action guns, well there were circumstances that worked against them. The War Department in the late 1800's was both old-fashioned and a bunch of cheapskates. They were old generals who had come of age in the days of muzzle-loading single-shot rifles and thought that the army should only use single-shots to encourage marksmanship & also they were worried that repeating rifles would encourage troops to just blow through their ammunition, thereby costing the government money. Hence, the reason our troops got the Springfield Trapdoor rifle during the Indian Wars of the late 1800's. By the time those old-timers had passed on, & the military was ready for repeaters, the lever action rifle was, for various reasons, considered second rate to the bolt-action, & that was the reason that officially the U.S. Army went straight from the single-shot Springfield trapdoor to the bolt-action Krag-Jorgensen.
ahh denmark, feel sorry for you
PLEASURE
I live in a country that has a total ban on firearms .... I HATE MY LIFE :(
