1873 Model Lever – Action Repeating Winchester Rifle

Considering that I knew little about any kind of antiques before the 20th century, I encountered many difficulties in this project. I decided to go to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to get inspiration. At the museum there is a small exhibition called "Cattle Breeding Museum" where I shot a lever of the 1873 model - its action repeats the Winchester rifle. I think this model 's rifle has a meaning, it exists in the museum, especially when there are many models of Winchester' s rifle and still being used today.

We already mentioned one of the earliest designs of browning, Winchester 1885 single shot rifle. Others first led the Winchester lever action repeater to the age of smokeless powder, which was a slim and convenient 1892 type, then became a "thutty-thutty" (.30-30) cartridge. American classic deer rifle, model 1895, that box magazine allows lever action repeaters to load true high power smokeless rifle cartridges and fire-blown bullets. Browning is also responsible for several repetitive shotguns. A revolver - based shotgun has existed since the Colt Patterson model appeared in the 1840 's, but it has never appeared (probably due to heating of the gas from the cylinder gap and support of powder particles). (Leveraged Dryful of Civil War) Spencer Arm made a repetitive pump or sliding shotgun that was successfully completed in 1882 as early as

With the expansion to the west side after the war, the private demand was a new repeating metal cartridge. Winchester first responded by improving the lever action of the brass frame rim fire model 1866, then the centerfire of 1875, and the models of 1876 and 1886. And strong enough to handle real big game cartridges of 0.45-70 class. . In large games in the western United States, such as bison, akashika, grizzly, the tradition of powerful large caliber rifle is certainly before the Civil War. As the first captor and mountaineers, pioneers and farmers were pushed into the Great Plains and the Western Rocky Mountains and developed a new American rifle as needed.

Colt did not hesitate to reduce his single revolver revolver at Winchester from .44-40 to .32-20 when Winchester produced the famous 1873 lever rifle and carbine gun. Pistol's quick handling and portability are essential for self-defense, but when you face a horrible threat, cowboys know that it is much better to have repeating rifles. Pistol and long arm of the same caliber are the winners of the border with the United States. From a self-defense perspective, today's shooting game can find a practical and cost-effective latest version paired with a 19th century cart / winchester with Hi-Point carbine gun and pistol. Hi-Points are housed in common pistol cartridges such as .45 ACP, .40 S & W, 9 mm Luger, and immediately .380 ACP, and 0.40 S & W and .45 ACP models have carbine guns and pistols Yes, I share the same magazine. I tested 995 mm carbine and C 9 pistol 9 mm, and left a deep impression.
