The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine in .357 Magnum is a lever-action rifle with a 19-inch blued round barrel and a walnut stock (brand part no. 550280). The carbine is a lightweight variation of the iconic 1873, with a barrel band and a flat butt plate, and its short barrel means less heft and more maneuverability. It is a good fit for hunting, cowboy action or a day at the range, and it is the lightest 1873 rifle variation, which also suits younger shooters. A rear ladder sight, a blued frame and a case-hardened triggerguard complete the classic look.
