Cimarron 1873 Saddle Rifle .357 Mag/.38 Spl 18"

Cimarron 1873 Lever-Action Rifle

The Cimarron 1873 lever-action rifle stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the most iconic firearms in American history. Originally conceived during an era when the frontier spirit dictated survival, this rifle was crafted with precision and purpose. From its inception in 1873 until production ceased in 1919, over half a million units were produced before the turn of the century, solidifying its place as a favorite among pioneers and lawmen alike.

Favored by legendary figures such as Pat Garrett, William F. Cody, and Billy the Kid, this saddle rifle became synonymous with reliability and ruggedness on the untamed western plains. The Texas Rangers post-1874 found it indispensable for its balance between firepower and handling—qualities that made it indispensable for those who lived by their wits and weapons.

The Cimarron '73 model brings historical authenticity into modern hands with meticulous attention to detail. Offered in .38 Special/.357 Magnum calibers, it features a robust case-hardened steel frame paired elegantly with an 18-inch blued barrel—attributes that ensure both strength and aesthetic appeal.
