The Cimarron 1873 Trapper .357 Magnum/.38 Special is a lever-action carbine with a 16-inch round barrel (Cimarron part no. CA273). Cimarron Firearms builds it as a reproduction of the Winchester 1873, the lever gun history calls the Rifle that Won the West. The short 16-inch round barrel makes it the compact carbine of the line, a rifle that carries easily in a saddle scabbard and swings quickly in tight quarters. It is chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, 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.
