my grandpa owned an 1880s, but it was stolen when they broke in his house, it was beautiful it had a chrome handle with drawnings on it, he used to hunt with it
@AfKman101 I think the one he has holds 12 + 1 but thats the sporting rifle. the carbine and the short rifles hold 10 + 1 rounds. so capacity depends on model.
@AfKman101 I'm really no expert on the cost but once again that would depend on alot of things like what model it is, whether its new or used, if it is used how much, the condition, is it an authentic winchester or a replica uberti, ect I can't really tell you much without more info on the particular gun you want to buy, but the model he has in this video cost about 1000 bucks average. if its the carbine maybe a little less. but remember thats for the ubertis not the authentic winchesters.
@MUSICALGUNNUT45 yea its the one that this guy is using im getting it for around 1200 bucks, we have went to the range and shot it its in mint with engravings
@AfKman101 good round. thats the original chambering for the rifle so that adds some historical value as well. expensive though, if you don't reload your going to spend a fortune on shooting that thing. If I can make a reccomendation for a future rifle give the henry golden boy a try it's about 500 buck built great and one of the most accurate rifles I own. and its a 22 so its cheap to shoot, it gives the winchester feel in a 22cal MyHollowpoint has a review up check it out definitely worth it
@FleaMaster69 Ammunition isn't necessarily hard to find, it's just really expensive. It's a reliable weapon, but again its an older model, so finding parts in a post zomibe world might be tricky. Jamming is rarely an issue if you keep your weapon clean, which you should do anyway. All in all, I would carry this gun in a supplementary role against zombies. I.E., I would use a semi-auto primarily, but would def keep this in reserve and/or use it to pick off far away zombies just for fun.
omg i got turned on by this guy and the shoting sequence lol jp i love them winchesters man bak in the day i wouldve had me sum of em sexy bitches! ill take one of those any day!
@pingtran In cowboy action shooting (CAS), part of the whole concept is to dress the part. Not sure if he is into CAS, but I do suggest that you know something about the history of this rifle before writing such comments about one's attire.
Okay so I NEED to know. Which would you recommend for killing black and grizzly bears. The 1873 with the .44/40, the 1894 with the .30/30 or .32/special?
@mrcummins05 the .30/30 can take down any north american game animal provided that you are within 250 to 300 yards and your shot is spot on. if you are going to go after a grizzly with these rounds I would recommend you bring a friend with a larger gun. Safty first!
@7SwitzerlandAustria7 Yes. The Winchester Model 1873 Rifle is extremely powerful, and every accurate. People these days numb their knowledge of guns with games like Call of Duty, but the old west guns were truly the best.
I love lever action rifles. I just got my 1st one about a month ago and it's a winchester model 94 30-30, out of all the rifles I own this is bar far my favorite. I don't know why I love it so much but, if I could, I'd use that for my concealed carry....LOL
thanks for the video Rowdy, I will have to look into Uberti now.. :-)
First of all, this is one fine weapon. After all that time I spend with modern weapons in the army, I wanted to maybe check out some older pieces. And as the winchester's an absolute classic, and after this review, I guess this one will be the first to try. So thanks for that. And by the way youre a great shooter, really nice skills mate!
My dad have a 1873 44-40 Winchester, Ive shot with it and may I say. Its the best rifle ever made for hunting BIG animals. Smaller animals would be blown up haha :D
As far as hunting goes, I know that the 44-40 will take down a deer (Although some believe that it really needs more ftlbf. I was checking into .45 colt hot loads and discovered that a couple of companies make a .45 colt "magnum" that delivers over 1,000 Ft. Lbf. Are these rifles capable of handlng such pressures?
You need to roll around the ground/rocks a bit in that outfit to get it authentic looking. Either that or you could have a horse drag you about the field by rope on the ankle.
I have a small one with Little Balls XD and im make duells with my Bro and im Shooting all times headshot XD thats nice weap to shoot i have one in big like him Nice weap, can shoot Good all good XD
America has been conqued by jews.if u doubt it .look up the men,jews, that r in the presidents admin. who controls our fed res. and our treasury.look behind the curtains of power to see who is in control.
I live in the South and the people I see dressed in this manner are either Historical Re-enactors, or Cowboy Action Shooters, like the gentleman in this video.
Cowboy action shooting participants use firearms of the Western Frontier Era, while dressed in authentic clothing from that era.
I don't know why the U.S. Army passed up these in favor of the single-shot Springfield. They didn't want troops to waste ammunition but it didn't look as if he wasted any.
Because the 45-70 "Trapdoor" Springfield would punch a 405 grain bullet through about 12 inches of pine at 400 yards. The 44-40 lacks that power and range.
With properly working 45-70's Custer would have decimated the Sioux at ranges the 44-40 couldn't touch. Custer was give early copper-cased 45-70 ammo that stuck in the chambers and jammed the Springfields. With only 18 rounds of 45 Colt per back up revolver, Custer was soon out of ammo and over run.
The tactical problem with both the Spencer 56-50 and the WInchester 44-40 is that both are short-range weapons, not capable of keeping Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, etc beyond arrow range.
Had Custer's men been supplied with brass-cased 45-70 ammo, the tribes would have taken severe casualties well beyond arrow range.
Even a commander as incompetent as Custer would have won the day, with properly operating Springfield 45-70's, and an adequate ammo supply.
The first Winchester capable of cycling the 45-70 Govt was the 1886; I think the first Marlin capable of cycling the 45-70 was the 1881. The 1876 Winchester action could not cycle the 45-70 Govt, so the Winchester 45-75 round was a bottleneck case capable of similar power, but short enough to cycle in the 1876 action.
Also, the 1876 Winchester was just hitting the market when Custer's command was over run on June 25, 1876.
The U.S. Ordnance Dept wouldn't have purchased it anyway, as it was much more expensive than the Springfield rifles, and could not chamber Govt ammunition.
I collect German WWII machineguns, but if I wanted a true historical weapon from the old west, THAT is the one I'd buy. The low power of the cartridge doesn't matter, the 1983 Winchester is the CLASSIS western rifle. Thanks for your video!
What is the barrel length of this rifle! I am looking at the same rifle with the 30" barrel.

I collect German WWII machineguns, but if I wanted a true historical weapon from the old west, THAT is the one I'd buy. The low power of the cartridge doesn't matter, the 1983 Winchester is the CLASSIS western rifle. Thanks for your video!
