The Cimarron 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine .38-40 Winchester is a lever-action carbine with a 19-inch round barrel (Cimarron part no. CA251AS1). Cimarron Firearms builds it as a reproduction of the Winchester 1873, the lever gun history calls the Rifle that Won the West. A saddle ring on the receiver and a 19-inch round barrel give it the traditional saddle carbine layout. It is chambered in .38-40 Winchester, so a matching revolver in the same cartridge makes a natural companion. The reproduction look and lever-action handling suit cowboy action shooting, range days and Old West collectors.

Key Specifications

• The action is a lever action, worked by the finger lever under the receiver for fast follow-up shots.
• The stock is a straight walnut style, the plain traditional shape of the standard 1873 rifles.
