Description: Offered for your consideration is this fine vintage 1873 Winchester saddle ring carbine in the desirible 44-40 caliber. Made in 1909 it has the standard 20 inch carbine barrel with the factory correct #44A carbine ladder style rear sight. The sight is intact and the elevation slide functions properly. The bore is well above average for the 1873, I would rate the bore a solid 7.5 to 8 on a 1-10 scale. The rifling is sharp and prominent with a trace of very light frosting. There is a shadow near the front barrel band that may be a very shallow ring in the bore. It's barely visable and certainly doesn't affect the accuracy. I shot two targets at 40 yards and got 1 1/2 inch and 1 3/4 inch groups using standard cowboy action loads, 200 gr. Lyman cast bullet sized .427 diameter pushed by 9 grs. Unique powder. The barrel, magazine and receiver have traces of blue but mostly a nice, even plum/silver patina. The receiver is fine mechanically, feeds, chambers, fires and ejects smoothly. Headspace is fine. The hammer holds on both half and full cock. The dustcover is present, slides open when the lever is cycled and stays in rear position as it should, no excess wobble. The buttstock is tight and solid, no cracks, bad dents or extra holes. The forearm has an old repaired crack just forward of the barrel band, it's tight and barely visible. Overall this is a fine vintage 1873 carbine that is very reliable and accurate. It will be great for cowboy action shooting and hunting. The 1873 saddle ring carbine was the working gun of the early West!
