The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine brings authentic Old West craftsmanship to shooters who want a dependable lever-action rifle for range days, cowboy action matches, or hunting camp.

Chambered in .45 Colt, this Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine pairs a deeply blued 19-inch barrel with a rich walnut stock and forend, giving it the classic profile that made the original 1873 design famous.

The color case hardened receiver adds a warm, hand-finished look, while the smooth-cycling lever action feeds reliably from a 10+1 capacity magazine tube. Every part of this build reflects careful attention to classic form.

Sights and Handling on This Lever-Action Rifle

A fixed ladder-style rear sight paired with a blade front sight offers simple, fast target acquisition at typical carbine ranges.

The walnut grip provides a secure, comfortable hold shot after shot, and the balanced 7.48-pound weight keeps this carbine quick to shoulder.

Built on a rugged steel receiver with a 1-in-16 twist rate, this carbine is quick-handling without sacrificing the smoothness that makes the 1873 platform so enjoyable to run.

The 37.87-inch overall length makes it easy to store, transport, and maneuver in tight spaces such as a hunting blind or a shooting bay.

Care and Maintenance Tips

Like any quality lever-action rifle, the Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine benefits from routine cleaning of the bore and action after each range session to keep the blued finish looking sharp and the lever cycling smoothly for years.

A light coat of gun oil on the receiver and moving parts helps guard against surface rust, and periodically checking the walnut stock for a proper fit against the receiver keeps the rifle shooting accurately match after match.

Ammunition selection matters too: standard .45 Colt cowboy action loads feed and cycle smoothly through this carbine, making it a natural fit for shooters who already run a matching single-action revolver in the same chambering.

New owners of the Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine often find that a short break-in period of live fire helps the action smooth out even further, and many shooters report that the rifle only gets more pleasant to run the more rounds it sees downrange. For dealers and buyers alike, the Taylor’s & Company 1873 Carbine stands out as a lever-action rifle that blends genuine frontier styling with the fit and function today’s shooters expect, making it an easy rifle to recommend to newcomers and seasoned lever-gun fans alike.
