What's Included
- Cimarron Model 1873 Short Rifle chambered in .357 Magnum
The short rifle configuration uses a 20" octagonal barrel and a full-length tubular magazine for a stated 10-round capacity. The barrel is marked 357 MAG, and the rifle loads through a right-side loading gate.
It uses the 1873-pattern toggle-link action with an external hammer and a sliding checkered top dust cover. A rifle-style fore-end cap, straight-grip wood stock, wood forend, and a steel crescent buttplate deliver a classic handling profile. Length of pull is 13.0 inches.
Sighting is traditional with a dovetailed front blade and a semi-buckhorn rear fitted with a stepped elevator for practical, repeatable adjustments. These iron sights complement the rifle’s period-correct setup.
The metal finish combines a blued barrel and magazine with a color case-hardened receiver, lever, and hammer, reflecting the traditional look of the original pattern. This is a reproduction built to capture the details enthusiasts appreciate in the 1873 design.
