The Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifle in .357 Magnum (brand part no. 534200137) brings the iconic lever gun to a modern, widely available revolver cartridge, built around a 20-inch round barrel with a full-length magazine tube. Winchester finishes the barrel and receiver in brushed polished blue and pairs the rifle with a walnut straight-grip stock and classic rifle-style forearm, topped with a blued steel crescent buttplate. The lever action feeds from an 11-round tubular magazine, giving cowboy-action shooters and .357-caliber revolver owners a matching-caliber rifle.
