Restoring the famous "Gun that won the west", The model 1873 is widely know for being reliable and very accurate. This made it the perfect firearm for conquering the Western Frontier. This particular one was produced in 1891. The high capacity lent itself to being used in battle and for hunting. This firearm has been all over throughout American history in cinema and in real life.

This was a challenge to work on. Very fun shooter though. We blew through a lot of cartridges. Hope you All enjoy it.

I have that same rifle as a family heirloom been handed down for generations it actually was brought by my grandpa from Portugal in 1901 but it is a 1873 model they shot bear with it up and Figueroa mountain above Santa Barbara in the 50s in the 70s I saw my dad killed three deer with the same rifle

At least this rifle has not had fake mud caked all over it.

Looks like you gone further into the rifle than any previous owner had… were. The original gun smith tool marks visible? The used to stamp every gun they bulit

I'm restoring a Mod 99 Savage in .300 Sav that went thru a house fire, no wood, and a 1914 Friendly Falling block .22lr. with a really nice 'Cowboy and horse' relief in stock! Have an old Win Pump 12ga next...

I'm more interested in where the hell you find all of these.

[@billrosmus6734]

Very nice. Next time though, I think you should leave the wood alone. The original patina is cooler.

Historical Masterpiece. Such an Iconic weapon deserved nothing less. 🤘😎

The original genius that designed it would be proud to see it rebuilt so well.

[@smuglydepressed]

And that old cartridge just reinforces why you always treat every gun as if its loaded! You never know!

Beautiful work. The engineering from 150 years ago is fascinating. My father had a gold plated 1966 anniversary model and a 1967 Canadian centennial model. Always loved those things.

Piece of art! Great video, amazing work.

[@BrendanW0214]

The end result is absolutely stunning! As much as I like bolt actions and milsurps I have a massive soft spot for these lever guns.

[@genewheeler6320]

The engineering and workmanship for that Era was amazing

[@stephenward3468]

For a rifle of it's time there was a lot of work and thought that went into making it for sure.Nice to see it restored.

[@condar419]

What a beautiful gun, so well engineered. Excellent restoration, as usual. I would love to see a 'magical' conversation between you guys and the original gunsmiths about this rifle.
