The 1866 was already quite popular when the smaller, yet quite similar 1873 model was released. It became an immediate favorite. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company may have thought that domestic military sales would make up most of the orders for the firearm, but in fact, civilian sales and international military purchases were what brought in profit that year. In that day, the 1873 was the first lever action available with a broad variety of options. Today, an array of options is still offered in Taylor's 1873 line.
The 1873 Pistol Grip rifle features a classic checkered pistol grip buttstock and checkered forend, case hardened frame, full octagaonal barrel. Taylors and Company custom actions feature one of the smoothest hammer and trigger pulls on the market.
