Model 1873 Repeating Rifle
"The gun that won the West"

The Winchester Model 1873 features many improvements over the Model 1866. It is a stronger action able to handle heavier cartidges. First produced in September of 1873, it was a very popular rifle - favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and many Texas Rangers - with a total manufacturing run of nearly 721,000. The last Model 73 left the Winchester factory in 1925. All PGW 1873 stocks are drilled for the cleaning rod.

Winchester 1873 Straight Grip/Crescent Style Buttstock

Model 1873 crescent style rifle stocks were fitted with two types of buttplates. The earlier crescent buttplates had a longer top tang than the later models. The two styles of buttplates are the same with the exception of the top tang length. We machine our stocks for the later, short tang buttplate. Stocks must be modified (a simple matter) to accept the earlier long tang buttplate.
