The Cimarron 1873 Trapper is a compact version of the classic 1873 Winchester rifle, featuring a shorter 16-inch barrel designed for easier handling and maneuverability. This lever-action carbine is available in popular Old West calibers including .357 Magnum/.38 Special, .44-40 Winchester, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt. The rifle features a case-hardened receiver and blued barrel, complemented by a traditional straight-grip walnut stock and forearm. The tubular magazine located beneath the barrel holds approximately 8-9 rounds depending on caliber. The rifle includes traditional open sights with a blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight. The 1873 Trapper maintains the historical authenticity of the original Winchester design while incorporating features suited for its compact size. Notable features include the classic lever-action system with vertical locking bolts, side ejection port, and hammer-mounted firing pin. The shorter barrel length makes it particularly suitable for horseback carry, stagecoach duty, or any situation requiring a more compact rifle while maintaining the power and reliability of the full-size model. Additional features include the traditional brass barrel band, crescent buttplate, and classic loading gate on the right side of the receiver. The combination of historical design in a shorter package makes it popular among cowboy action shooters, collectors, and enthusiasts seeking a handy lever-action carbine that maintains the classic 1873 functionality.
