Cimarron Model 1873 Carbine

Notes: This rifle is a modern reproduction of the Winchester Model 1873 Carbine. Appearance, form, fit, and finish are all virtually identical to the Winchester, but the Cimarron reproduction differs in several points. The front sight is integral with the barrel band; this simplifies production, but also means that is the barrel band becomes loose, the front sight wanders. The Cimarron lacks the cleaning rod in the stock that the Winchester had. The barrel is only 19 inches, as opposed to the 20-inch barrel of the original. Original Winchester 1873 Carbines were chambered for either .38 Winchester Centerfire or .44 Winchester Centerfire blackpowder cartridges, but the Cimarron reproductions are chambered for cartridges using modern propellants.

Cimarron Model 1873 Rifle

Notes: Just as the Model 1873 Carbine is an almost-exact modern reproduction of the Winchester Model 1873 Carbine, the Cimarron Model 1873 Rifle is a near-reproduction of the Winchester Model 1873 Rifle. The receiver, lever, hammer, and trigger are all case-hardened color. The barrel is a 24-inch tapered octagonal one, which is the proper length for a Winchester 1873 Rifle. The stock is of walnut, where the originals were generally of whatever hardwood one could find at a decent price at the time, oil-finished to a dark shine. The stock is made of wood which is very straight-grained, unlike the stocks of the original Winchester, which had a lot of wood-grain. Options for the Cimarron version include Fancy (AA) and Super Fancy (AAA) deluxe versions, and a hand-checkered butt, pistol grip wrist, and fore-end, none of which were available on the original Winchester. The sights are somewhat different (but very similar) than those of the original model, with a semi-buckhorn rear sight and a dovetailed front blade. The trigger pull is hard at 6 pounds, but this is like the trigger of the original Winchester rifle. The safety is harder to activate and deactivate than that of the original.

Uberti Model 1866 Yellowboy

Notes: This is a modern replica of the Model 1866 Winchester, which was itself essentially an improved version of the Henry rifle of that period. Like the original Winchester, the receiver is of brass, with a brass frame and butt plate, which give the carbine its "Yellowboy" moniker. However, the barrel of the carbine version of the Uberti model is 19 inches long, while the barrel of the original Winchester is nearly 20 inches. Uberti also makes a "short rifle" version of the Yellowboy, which does have a 20-inch barrel, and a full-sized rifle, with a 24.25-inch barrel. The Winchester fired primarily .44 Rimfire rounds (though some were chambered for .44 Henry Centerfire), while the Uberti replica fires more modern cartridges (whether propelled by blackpowder or modern propellants). The saddle ring of the original is absent. The rear sight is a fixed folding leaf sight, and the front sight is a blade-type. The rear sight is, however, dovetailed, minor adjustments may be made this way.

Uberti Model 1873 Sporting Rifle

Notes: This is an Italian replica of the Winchester 1873 Sporting Rifle. The Uberti replica is a faithful reproduction, but is not exact; the lockwork is better with more reliability, and it fires a cartridge based on smokeless powder. Externally, it looks just like the original, with a case-hardened finish to the receiver and lever and a dark oil-finished walnut stock and fore-end. The rear sights are of the adjustable ladder-type, while the front sight is fixed. A version of this rifle is also chambered for .357 Magnum, though the original was not.

In 2005, Uberti chambered a version of the 1873 Sporting Rifle in .45 Long Colt – something Winchester never did because of the intense rivalry at the time between Winchester and Colt. This version is capable of handling both blackpowder rounds and rounds based on modern propellants, and bullets of varying weights. The lever is slightly larger, because Uberti found that shooters these days actually have, on the average, larger hands than in 1873.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The .45 Long Colt versions do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Uberti Henry Rifle

Notes: This is a modern replica of the original 1860 Henry rifle. This replica is capable of firing both blackpowder and smokeless powder loads; the smokeless powder loads are reflected in the statistics below. The Uberti Henry shares the 1860 Henry’s reputation for accuracy (given the limitations of the cartridges used), as well as reliability. The stock of the Uberti Henry is made of a red-finished wood, with a bright brass receiver and blued barrel and magazine. Shortcomings include a barrel that rapidly grows too hot to handle when used with blackpowder; and a magazine follower that travels down the tubular magazine as the magazine is emptied, changing the balance and feel of the weapon and sometimes traveling into the action when the magazine is nearly emptied.
