The Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Sporting Rifle .38 Special is the full-length version of the Winchester 1866 replica, with a 24-inch octagon barrel (part no. CA222). It has the brass frame that gave the gun its Yellow Boy name and a lever-action that was the first to adapt well to a saddle scabbard. The .38 Special chambering is mild and shares a cartridge with revolvers. The long barrel gives a long sight radius for cowboy action and range work. It is made for Cimarron Firearms.
