The 1873 model became an immediate favorite upon it's release by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Thoughts were that the domestic military sales would make up most of the orders for the lever action , but this model ended up being more popular with civilians and international military. The 1873 Rifle was the first lever-action available with broad variety of options, and it's still offered today in many varieties to meet all types of shooter's needs. This 1873 Comanchero®model features a case hardened frame with a blued barrel and a classic checkered walnut pistol grip stock and forend. The Comanchero® includes a custom short -stroke action, lightened hammer and trigger pull, butt cover, leather wrap, and a gold bead front sight.
