The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Rifle in .45 Colt with the Taylor Tuned custom action (brand part no. 550172DE) reproduces the design that became an immediate favorite following the popular 1866, upgraded with a hand-polished custom action for one of the smoothest hammer and trigger pulls on the market. Taylor’s & Company pairs a buckhorn rear sight with a blade front sight and builds the rifle around a 20-inch barrel with a classic straight stock. The lever action feeds from a tubular magazine with a 10+1 capacity, runs a 1-in-16-inch rate of twist, and ships at approximately 9.15 pounds. Among lever action rifles, the Taylor Tuned 1873 favors cowboy-action competitors who want a faster, smoother-cycling custom action.
