The Cimarron 1873 Trapper is a short-barreled .44-40 Winchester lever-action rifle (Cimarron part no. CA243) built on the Winchester 1873 pattern with a compact 16-inch blued barrel for quick handling in tight spaces. Its 1:20-inch twist and 46.6-inch overall length keep it maneuverable while still shooting the same reliable action found on the full-length 1873. Finished with a walnut stock and holding 10 rounds in the tube, it is a great truck gun, trail rifle, or cowboy action "Trapper" class entry. It ships as a Title I rifle with no NFA paperwork required since 16-inch is the legal minimum barrel length.
