Given the historic breakthroughs achieved with the Henry rifle, Winchester improved on its design to make it even more useful on both the range and the battlefield. In 1866, they introduced Nelson King's patented spring-steel loading gate, as well as a wood forend for added comfort. These changes led to the creation of the "Yellowboy", the earliest version of the quintessential cowboy rifle whose lines and basic functioning survive to this day.
Uberti offers striking recreation of the 1866 Yellowboy with polished Walnut stock, beautiful brass receiver and blued octagonal barrel. This 1866 Yellowboy Short Rifle comes with 20" barrel. It features a brass fore-end nose cap and a solid brass crescent buttplate.
