Taylor’s 1873 Rifle Pistol Grip 357 Mag Overview
The 1873 lever-action is one of the most famous rifles in American history, often called the gun that won the West. Its smooth toggle-link action and revolver-cartridge chambering made it a favorite of cowboys, lawmen, and settlers, and it remains a top choice for cowboy action shooters today.
Design and Features
This 1873 Rifle Pistol Grip 18″ .357MAG has a octagonal blued steel barrel, a casehardened steel frame, a checkered walnut stock, and a dovetail blade front sight and dovetail buckhorn rear sight. Rifling twist is RH 1×18.75″. It weighs about 7.39 pounds and measures 36.87″ overall. It is built for Taylor’s & Company by Uberti in Italy. Taylor’s offers its tuning service for a smoother action. It also works with .38SP.
Handling in the Field
The rifle is light and quick to the shoulder, and the lever stroke is smooth, making fast follow-up shots easy.
Action and Trigger
The action cycles smoothly, and the trigger breaks cleanly for accurate shots.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 357 Mag Cartridge
The 357 Mag offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
Ordering and Transfer
When you order a firearm from MAG5 Firearms, we ship it to the licensed dealer you choose. Your dealer completes the ATF Form 4473 and the background check, and may charge a transfer fee. Local buyers can complete the transfer at our shop. Bring a valid ID, and check your state waiting period before you plan a hunt or a range trip.
Safe Storage
Store the firearm unloaded in a locked safe or case, with ammunition kept separately. A cable lock or trigger lock is a good backup, especially in a home with children or visitors. Keep the original box and paperwork, and record the serial number in a safe place in case the gun is ever lost or stolen.
