Restoring Iconic Winchester 1873 lever action rifle, (with test fire).

[@MrBlackout63]

The thing I love most about old things like this is the intricate and precise machine work from back in those times, all from mechanical lathes and masters of a trade. Though technology has taken us leaps and bounds, it’s also slowly taking away these master tradesmen.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

I agree, there aren't a lot of gunsmiths left, thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@Thekarlskorner]

And if you ever saw these with the very tiny set trigger parts you would wonder how they were made in 1873. Beyond incredible.

[@Woodstock271]

So true. Though the mechanics of these firearms haven’t changed a whole lot, it’s hard to imagine the tolerances and machining they were able to do by hand back then. Each one had to be slightly different depending on who personally worked on it. It’s hard to be impressed these days with computer programmed machines doing basically the same thing. There’s no heart and soul and love and experience required to push a fricken START button. Excellent work guys!

@@gerry-p9x IIRC, the Rifleman's rifle was a Winchester Model 1892 which was historically incorrect. Either the 1873 or the 1876 would have been correct but, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I doubt anyone except the most gun savvy viewer would have noticed.

[@terrywelch-gk4xm]

My Father had one of these rifles, he bought it for 40 dollars from his high school math teacher. It was in great shape considering its age, and was used deer hunting. It was the first rifle I had ever shot, and to this day I remember the clinking sound made by the saddle ring on the left side of the receiver each time it was fired- a detail not often seen in movies where the guns of this era are portrayed in westerns. I noticed immediately that this gun here being restored did not have the saddle ring. Was it removed or is this a "newer" gun? In the mid seventies, we took a trip to the Winchester mystery house and museum. Dad took the gun in the trunk of the car, and brought it into the museum to let their curator see it. Phone calls were made to the Winchester arms corporate offices, and my dad was offered 5,000 dollars and his choice of any new Winchester hunting rifle in trade for the gun- an offer he turned down. We continued to use the rifle hunting another 15 years or so, when dad retired it because the extractor/ejector had worn to the point where the butt end of the empty casing would be stuck in the receiver after firing a shot. As far as I know, my brother got the rifle when dad died, and probably still has it over his fireplace.

[@TheKinzlerBros]

Thanks for the stories I enjoyed them, thanks for watching!

[@grantgarrod2232]

The model shown here is the full-length rifle version, with a 24" octagon barrel. There's also a carbine version , with a shorter, 20" round barrel, meant for easier to carry & use on horseback. That model was usually fitted with the saddle ring, but the rifle generally was not, unless ordered from the factory with one, which is uncommon. That was standard practice on every model of Winchester lever-gun, as long as they were made, so I'm guessing your family's gun is a carbine.

This is an 1873 Winchester so if the one in question was made in the first year of production and is still in very very good shape or a custom order of some kind then it could very well be worth that much. The 1873 was the gun that made Winchester. Sure the Henry rifles and the 1866’s were good but the ‘73 really built Winchester. Even as good as the later 92’s and 94’s were they still didn’t have the impact on the company that the ‘73 did.

I love the glass bead blast makes rust and old metal finish just disappear. Great work.

Super sick find. What a gem. BTW nothing wrong with using a palm sander on rough stocks. I do it all the time. Saves my hand and wrist from hours of tedious work. Great video.

Absolutely, I agree! If you know what you are doing its fine! Thanks for watching!

[@JamesScott-vc2xx]

beautiful gun, one of my favorities, and beautiful restoration! Always wonders how they were able to make such complex weapons already at that time, without cad and cnc:)
