The Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy 44 Special (brand part no. CA218AS1) is a faithful reproduction of the Old West classic from Cimarron Firearms, pairing a brass receiver with a blued 19-inch barrel and a walnut stock. Cimarron built its name on historically accurate Italian-made reproductions, and the Yellowboy carries that reputation forward with an authentic saddle ring and traditional lever-action lines. The rifle’s smooth lever cycles rounds from a 10-round tubular magazine, giving a shooter plenty of capacity for cowboy action matches, plinking, or a handsome addition to a lever-gun collection. At an overall length of 37.87 inches, it handles quickly and carries the balance and feel that made the original 1866 an icon of the American frontier.
