WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SHORT – RIFLE 357/38SP 20″ BLUED/WAL

Description

The Winchester 1873 is a lever action in .357 MAGNUM with a 20" barrel, a 1:18.75 twist and 10-round capacity plus one chambered.

This barrel length is a common compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while staying manageable to carry. That is slower than the usual twist for this cartridge, so it favors lighter bullets; very heavy projectiles may not stabilize. It comes with bead front/semi-buckhorn rear sights.

The .357 MAGNUM is commonly chosen for revolver shooting, hunting and defense. Substantial power and muzzle blast; most revolvers chambered for it will also fire lighter .38 Special.
