Developed from the Henry rifle, the 1866lever-action repeater has passed into legend as "The Gun That Won The West". Its distinctive brass frame gave rise to the nickname "Yellow Boy", which was coined by Indian tribes. During its production run, from 1866 to 1898, about 170,000 pieces were made in Winchester's Connecticut factory. The gun fired a .44 caliber rimfire round from the tubular magazine located underneath the barrel. This classic Old West rifle features working lever action, engraved brass receiver and heavy octagonal barrel. Complete with wood stock & saddle ring. A classic display piece for your office or home. Popular prop item for wild west theatrical presentations and re-enactments. This non-firing version clearly demonstrates the workings of the lever-action loading system. A welcome addition to any collector's display. KEY FEATURES: MEASUREMENTS: |
