The Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Short Rifle in .45 Colt (brand part no. CA234) is a faithful reproduction of the iconic brass-framed Winchester 1866, nicknamed the Yellowboy for its distinctive bronze-alloy receiver. Cimarron Firearms builds the rifle around a 20-inch barrel finished in blued steel over a walnut stock, with a 1-in-16-inch rate of twist. The rifle feeds from a 10-round tubular magazine. Among lever-action rifles, the Yellowboy favors Old West historical shooters and Cowboy Action competitors who want an authentic brass-framed reproduction.
