Winchester’s first centerfire arm was manufactured from 1873-1919 with more than 541 000 turned out before 1900. A frontier favorite since its debut this lever-action rifle was produced in a number of variations from short Trapper models and carbines to short and extra-long barreled rifles. A few short years after the 1873 rifle was introduced it was often teamed with the famed 1873 Peacemaker and other sixguns.
