Uberti - 1873 Rifle and 1873 Carbine

Visit us: http://bit.ly/CheaperThanDirt

Winchesters 1873 rifle was the Rifle that Won the West. It was chambered in a new, more powerful cartridge, the .44-40—a .44 caliber bullet, propelled by 40 grains of black powder.

However, a factor that really insured the success of the 1873 Winchester rifles was that Colt quickly offered its Peacemaker chambered in .44-40, as well. A cowboy could have both a lever-action rifle and his six shooter, and needed only one cartridge belt for both.

Most Texas Rangers and every old West cowboy worth his salt carried 1873 rifles. Chappo, the son of Apache war chief Geronimo, packed an 1873. And Buffalo Bill carried an 1873 lever-action rifle along with a pair of .44-40 Colts in 1876 when he worked as an Army scout.

This piece of rifle history is available in five distinctive models of Uberti rifles, including the Uberti 1873 Carbine, and Uberti 1873 Special Sporting Rifle.

The Marines had no trouble with their Krags when they landed at Guantanamo Bay, nor anywhere in the Philippines. Its just a bad stereotype.

I dont believe the bad rep Krag got in Cuba...it was only made a scape goat for the charge up San Juan heights. Nobody wanted to blame idiotic idea of charging up high ground and exposing 5x more of your own troops to enemy MG fire.

The Krag was well admired

I heard the rifle that won the west was the Krag. It couldn't win in Cuba though...
