I love the new Winchester’s. Miroku is doing a fantastic job and has earned the use of the Winchester name. I’m proud to put my 1873 carbine with my pre-64 model 94’s, pre-64 shotguns and 9422 22lr.
I love my Miroku made 1873 Winchester saddle ring carbine in .357/.38. It’s beautifully made and finished. It’s also extremely accurate. I was lobbing some .38spl at about 190 yards hitting a trash can lid off hand. When I went and looked at it, you could cover 11 shots with a 7x7 piece of paper. She’s a keeper.
I just ordered one of the new production 1873 Winchester’s in Short Rifle configuration with color case hardening. Excited to pick it up after I get home from deployment. I own a 1860 Henry Original built Henry Repeating Arms exactly like the ones depicted in the video and it such a awesome shooting rifle. You just gotta really wipe it down well and use a metal polish on the brass receiver to keep it looking new.
@@nothim7321 Hi Jeff, Yes, I own a pump action in .22lr and their GoldenBoy in .22lr. Both nice guns that I won't part with. I also have shot/own about five Miroku long arms. I just think they're a better fit and finish. The Henry's are nice but if I had to pick who was better I'd nod to Miroku. That won't stop me from every buying a Henry though.
I’m a Shimano Japan fishing reel guy. I’m Calcutta TE and Calcutta Cinquest. I’m more than likely to buy a Winchester 1873 made by Miroku this next week
They had lathes and other machine tools, including things like power hammers and what not, either steam or water powered... The toggle link system was actually first invented by the volcanic arms company, Smith and Wesson actually. When it went under, Oliver Winchester bought up the rights, B T Henry was his plant manager and made some improvements... With the 1866 model they added the King's patent loading gate. The 1873 just added the side plate and change of material for the receiver...At least that is what I think I remember from Ian at Forgotten Weapons...
I've got a blued Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifle by Miroku in .45 Colt, and it is my most prized possession. I love that gun. I can't wait until I'm 21, when I can get a Colt 1873 Single Action Army to match it. I know that historically, the pair would be in 44-40, but I chose .45 Colt for the availability.
I have to break an internet rule here and say something positive. That was a truly fantastic video. Lots of good information, good pace, and good mix of talk and shooting. Well done!
Im a huge lever fan! So seeing this video really got me excited! I own a winchester in 30-30 and a real marlin in 45-70 and i love them both dearly! Both are great guns. This year i bought a remington 783 in 300 win mag but next year its going to be a Henry, thinking 45 long colt but who knows! Maby a more rare or more common round! Who knows. LOVE THE VIDEO THOUGH! Keep them up!
After Muskie fishing for 20 years with 5 Calcutta TE 401 and a couple years with 2 Calcutta Conquest 401. I appreciate the craftsmanship of the Japanese people. All metal just dreams of fishing reels that stand the test of time. That is why I’m looking to possibly buy an 1873 lever made by Miroku
When we recently moved to Texas Kommiefornia, the first firearm I bought and had wanted all my life was a lever action rifle. I had saved up enough money and figured I just as well go whole hog and get an actual Winchester 1873. I got it in .45 Long colt. Absolutely love this rifle! And it’s history.
This is one of my favorite rifles. Ever since watching Dawn of the Dead as a young kids (I know it’s not th same rifle) I wanted a lever action rifle. And I feel it’s maneuverability and the 357(especially from a rifle) is easy to shoot and very lethal. I just can across a great deal in one, I can’t wait to get it in hand. This is definitely one I will never part way with. I also recently picked up a Rossi R92.
Never been fired?! I’m sorry... I know the guns don’t belong to me and he’s free to do what he wants, but guns weren’t meant to be safe queens. Guns were meant to be functional above all else, used to protect life, liberty and property. They were meant to be fired.
top 10 vid dude, got an 92 trapper takedown deluxe,,,,great rifle, now i am into a 73 miroku too, cheers from germany. just rang the bell on ya channel
Cold water, Cold water, Cold Water!!! Our trainers stressed that we wash our hands and then face with cold water first because it closes the pores of the skin making it harder for lead to permeate it. Once all the lead is washed off I suppose you could wash again with warm water if you really want to.
I suppose in reality the fact that you people have so many gun related incidences could be traced back to lead poisoning of some sort pickling the brains of those idiots who think it's cool to shoot at moving targets. Just for the record, I've owned .303's for target shooting back in the 60's, didn't wear ear muffs so now I have a continuous ring tone in each ear. I have to wonder that you call it a gun.....?....my corporal in the military said this is your rifle etc etc.....never call it a gun.
Excellent 👍. I'm seriously thinking about getting this Winchester 1873 trying to decide between 44-40 for the 45 Colt? I know the 44-40 was the standard and the 45-cult was never available. The 45 Colt is a little bit more powerful but the 4440 was the standard in the 1873 for almost 50 years so it must get the job done because back then it was really used for self-defense hunting survival. Let your father-in-law know guns that you don't shoot why have them? If I can't shoot a gun I don't want it just to collect. Thanks it's a fun good review 👍
I own one and they are great guns I shoot cowboy myself too and it sure is fun no better sport to be apart of among other western shooting sports like fast draw mounted shooting or national congress of old west shooters
Ben. T. henry worked for Oliver Winchester when the 1860 henry was made . The 1866 was a great improvement over the 1860 henry ( forearm < Kings pat. loading gate] .
Your videos are always interesting and informative. I need a repro 1873. Classic American rifle. Edit: I have nothing but respect for Japanese manufacturing. The war ended in 1945.
That is not a reproduction, It is actually a Winchester 1873. Uberti makes a reproduction, and I think there may be another Italian company that makes a copy. But not Winchester. That's like calling a new Remington 870 a reproduction just because its new. Get my point?
I agree 100% that Miroku is a licensed firearm manufacturer from Japan to produce to the exact specifications to carry forward the 73 Winchester Brand name of rifles so therefor these are truly Winchester 73 rifles and not reproductions by other firearm manufacturing companies such as Henry, Uberti , Cimmaron or whoever !!!!
Love the gun. I would own one now, but can’t bring myself to buy a foreign Winchester. Not buying American Heritage from Japan. I’m still pissed they bombed Pearl Harbor and nothing will change that. I don’t care if it’s quality or not. MAGA. Buy American.
Winchester 1892 in .44WCF aka .44-40. I love that TV show. Chuck Connors had a saddle ring carbine version with large lever loop and a special set screw that when properly adjusted would squeeze the trigger with every cycle of the lever meaning he never actually had to pull the trigger, effectually it’s the equivalent of slam firing an old 1897 pump shotgun by working the slide with the trigger held down. This is how he could empty the whole magazine tube in well under 5 seconds. Great TV show.
I have a Henry big boy in 44spl/44 mag. I'd so like to sell it and get a winchester model 1873 src original or repro in 44-40. Henry is a good gun but winchester have more simplicity to the design and seem lighter weight wise
........also, found in old cabin on kin folks property, an octagon barrel and action that looked like had been in a fire. Wood was gone. Reckon it could be restored? Just for show if nothing else. (Need to quit watchin ur vids....them subliminal gun buyin suggestions have got me in hot water w/better half. Well, blamed you. Guess oughta pay ya commission)
You're extremely off on your history. Henry DID NOT invent the toggle action. Walter Hunt did. Smith and Wesson developed the ammunition for it and produced the weapons under the Volcanic Arms partnership. To make a long story short, this was later purchased by Winchester, who was a textile and garment multimillionaire. His head mechanic was Henry, who had toyed with Volcanics and improved them. Winchester had ideas for improving the design, as did other engineers but Henry thought his rifle was perfect and refused to let the design change. Winchester then realized that he had the rights to the toggle system and divested his interest in Henry and founded his own company. Henry sued and lost. Winchester then produced the Winchester 1866 - a much better rifle than the Civil War Henry, which had many annoying, finicky, hard to produce and very unsafe attributes. Capitalism prevailed over ego and proved Henry was wrong when everyone bought the Winchester without those negative features. Henry went out of business and worked as a talented and well in demand gunsmith the rest of his life - who refused to work on Winchesters.

Miroku also makes Browning Citori shotguns in Japan.

8:30 To be fair there is no American mass manufacturer of firearms that does it with the precision of Miroku.
Sadly I concur.
Have you fired a Henry repeating arms?

Straight or sporter grip?
Maybe the gun is chambered for the .45 Colt?

them rifles back then were monster calibers
miroku is EXTREME Quality . they made a lot of browning rifles too
Sweet! Thanks for sharing it with us. Here's hoping you can cover the Henry Repeating Arms "Original Henry" too!
Shimano Japan fishing reels were just the cream of the crop all metal and tight tolerances
1 in a thousand. The '73 always reminds me of Jimmy. Gr8 vid. 🔫
If I could only own one rifle, it would be the Winchester 1873, even over the AR.

I have a round bbl. in .357. One of my favorite rifles.
Thank you for the lead warning, I never thought of that and yes a burger after the range is common
Great video! Looking forward to the history lesson, thanks for sharing!
A true classic; good video.
Happy Easter.

Ok. You can attribute a fair amount of lead poisoning to me I suppose....
I made that comment for selfish reasons. I enjoy your vids and I don't want you to die.

Still use a Winchester 30-30 for deer brush gun. A good lever is never a bad choice for a gun safe
I gotta admit I prefer the Italian Repos. I hate the tang safety on a firearm that was never designed to have one.
That, is a very cool rifle. Thanks for the review.
Happy Easter Paul! A great rifle for Easter!
how could you not like this rifle , a great gun and pleasing to the eye also
I would think Mr. Winchester was paying a compliment to Mr. Henry by calling it the improved Henry.
They did part on pretty bad terms, but you may be right.
Awesome video Paul! Thank you buddy. Hope you have a great time here in Indianapolis. I would come out but I'm not NRA.

Excellent vid bro.
Henry never had a company, the 1860 was built by the New Haven arms company, which is what became Winchester….
A pine cone enema. Good lord now I've heard everything.
That is not a reproduction, It is actually a Winchester 1873. Uberti makes a reproduction, and I think there may be another Italian company that makes a copy. But not Winchester. That's like calling a new Remington 870 a reproduction just because its new. Get my point?

Oh yeah and I want one to go with my two Colt .45 colt saa revolvers !!!
The term reproduction is actually accurate. They are re-producing the original 1873. The Uberti would be called a replica. Both great rifles.
🙌🙌👍👍 awesome vid!
spoken like a a man that has not had a real unit in this hand John Moses Browning made Winchester Arms Company a household name
So how much would a Winchester 1873 44-40 be worth in all original??
What caliber are you shooting 357 or 44 ?
.44-40
Thanks
mine is in the 45 colt very accurate round@@LegallyArmedAmerica
Feather Indians you mean.🇺🇸💯
Tuco said if your going to shoot shoot dont talk
F tuco
I really love your channel buddy but I thought it was a 50-70 Then followed by the 4570 that Tamed the West

You mean low quality high price
Sad that you have to explain the difference in Japanese quality to Chinese.
“Equally beautiful” color case hardening? Not even close to Turnbull or the originals. Not bad but not equally beautiful.
My fav gun!! I will be buried with mine.
It's a good idea to never shoot your rifles, keep them locked up and like new for their next owner to shoot.
Small joke yes?
I have 1 for sale if you are interested
Great video, lots of good information. You might like to check out a couple Winchesters I have on my channel, thanks.
Use cold water to wash your hands bc warm opens your pores
Not brass. Bronze.
No pertinent data re: the weapon's performance. Too verbose and chatty over history which everyone already knows.
Your history is just a little off...
