Description
Reproduction of a rifle, made of metal and wood, with simulating loading and firing mechanism.
The Model 1873 was a jumper-repeat repeating rifle, that is, it allowed several rounds to be fired before reloading, ejecting the old case and replacing it with a new one by operating a jumper attached to the trigger guard; hence the term "repeating rifle".
Its function consists of a horizontal movement closure that has the needle aligned inside; When the lower lever is activated, it unlocks the bolt, then moves it to the rear, uncovers the breech, makes room for a lift plate, and mounts the breech from the rear. At the end of its rearward movement, the detent causes a bullet to move from the magazine to the lift plate, and then the reciprocal forward movement of the lever raises the plate and places the bullet in front of the chamber, where it is pushed in at closing. The final stroke upwards with the jumper again locks the closure in the trip position.
The Model 1873 was the most widely used rifle of its time, due to its steel construction and because it used the same centerfire cartridges as revolvers of that period. This allowed the shooter to carry two different weapons with the same type of ammunition. It was produced in such large quantities that it became a regular fixture in the western United States, earning the nickname "The gun that won the West", due to its roots and versatility. It was the inspiration for the movie “Winchester '73”, which was shot in 1950, starring James Stewart and directed by Anthony Mann.
