The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Sporting in .45 Colt (brand part no. 550166) is a lever-action rifle built around a 24.25-inch octagon barrel, reproducing the 1873 Winchester that grew directly out of the earlier 1866’s success. Taylor’s & Company finishes this reproduction with a blued barrel over a case-hardened frame and a straight-grip walnut stock, pairing a buckhorn rear sight with a blade front sight, feeding from a 13-round tubular magazine.
