Hello Mr Hickok, I'm from Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil. This year my grandfather at age 91 gave me his original 73 winchester, it still have the original numbers and letters. The only sadly thing is, it was chambered in 44-40 winchester, this caliber is not very common around here... but elsewhere I'm very happy because this is a 150 years old gun, this is part of the american history, brazilian history and my family history.
What year was it made, They were chambered in 44-40 when they made them
@@wallbanger3Winchester couldn’t chamber the original 1873 with Colt’s 45 caliber because Colt wouldn’t sign a license agreement, although 4 years later in 1877 Winchester signed a license agreement with Colt that allowed Colt to manufacture their single action army in 44/40 Winchester.
@@notchagrandpa8875it was not because of the license agreement. It was because the original 45 Colt case only had enough rim to headspace in a revolver. It was not enough to work with a lever action extractor.
i got the privilege to meet mr hickock in person at buds gunshop in tennessee. it was in the evening and everybody and their momma had to talked to him. and after every one had left i shook his hand and got a quick pic with em and told him i am a big fan. and he was nice as could be. good dude
Lucky!
wow! you met an old man with borrowed guns that dose youtube videos!
@@olskool3967 wow! you're such a douche
Partha Sarathy how is he racist or immigrant hating because of where he lives
@@olskool3967 Wow! You're such a piece of crap!
You can feel how much he loves to shoot just from watching all his videos. He laughs and giggles the whole time. It's awesome to watch.
I don't know if you still check for comments. 7 years later I'm still going to back rewatch your videos. You are a legend sir.
My grand father used to tell us about his days being a cowboy in the 1890's during his early teens. :)
Not all of them carried fire arms around the cattle, unless they were an area with a lot of snakes.
He noted he carried an old 410 single shot for those varmits. :)
He bought it for that reason because he had been thrown by a horse that was spooked by a snake.
I hope Uberti sends you some love because you have been a good salesman for them.
No later than today, I purchased a Uberti 1873 in 44-40 (after watching this video yesterday) and a Taylor/Uberti Revolving Carbine in .44 cal (cap and ball) just because they had one in stock and it looks fun to shoot.
That cap and ball carbine is a BLAST to shoot! You will love it.
I just bought another Uberti 1873 on GB, a short rifle with an 18 inch barrel. It should be interesting, has a half octagon/half round barrel. Uberti also makes a carbine version.
Beautiful rifle.
1957Shep
Yeah.
Just bid on one with a maple stock. Gorgeous.
yup the best
@@tobparker sweet! did you win it?
@@jackschanneldavenport7079 I didn’t. But I did buy a nice Uberti version that I’m happy with. The blonde stock was damned pretty though.
Man I love lever guns! It’s awesome how popular they still are today. Great video 👍🏻
Never shot real steel much as I live in the UK so not really had the chance but your vids deff make up for my loss and are by far the best on YT to watch for guns of all types !
I searched for and watched this particular video just to hear hickok45 reference the Jimmy Stewart movie, Winchester 73. Hickok45 did not disappoint. Of course, he never does.
This was a beautiful rifle and very popular. It's interesting that it was produced from 1873 to 1923 and the .44/40 was a potent cartridge.
I've only shot a few rifles and I fell in love with the Winchester. It's just such an awesome gun!
winchester 73 was the name of the movie its one of my dads favorites
With Jimmy Stewart.
The evening "rush" was on at a popular downtown restaurant when a Giant Panda walked-in, and ordered dinner. When the Panda had finished eating, it stood up, pulled a 9mm Glock, and began to spray the bar with gunfire, shattering the mirror, destroying most of the bar stock, and terrorizing all of the customers. The Panda turned and walked toward the exit.
"What the hell was that all about!" shouted the bartender.
"I'm a Panda!" replied the bear, "You got a dictionary? Look it up!" The manager of the restaurant went into the office, returning with a dictionary, and read the entry to the still-shaken guests and staff:
"Panda---A bearlike mammal native to the bamboo forests of China and Tibet. Eats shoots and leaves."
wtf
Lmao
Lmfao!
Wishful thinking. No panda has got a firearms license. But he´s got teeth. Wish he bite off spoony´s balls. Would make him peaceful.
Eats shoots and leaves... Or....
Eats, shoots, and leaves.
Grammar. It saves lives.
Excellent vid. I have my great grandfather's 1873 in 38-40. Made in 1923. I've shot pistol loads, rifle loads in smokeless but the best accuracy I got was with 2F with a lube wad behind the bullet base. Ballistol cleans the gunk so well.
I was an Armourer in the Indian Air Force and the only time I saw the Winchester was in the cowboy movies,the standard rifle was the Enfield .303",the Bren,9mm Sten, and my fav. the .38" S&W.Thanks for the video about the Winchester.
Love the sound of that lever action!
Winchester 73 is a great western that I highly recommend
Saw this, and went out on a quest to find one. Luckily, I found one at the first store I went to. It is an absolutely beautiful gun, and I cannot wait to take it out to the range. Thanks Hickok!
This is why the Legion lost the first Battle of Hoover dam.
And the second one too >:)
?
Those damn NCR Rangers; profligates, all of them....
@@Airplanetyson Fallout: New Vegas reference
@@turtlegamez4274 gotcha
I’d like to shake the hands of the men in Japan who made my 1873 Carbine in .357/38. It’s my first Winchester not made in Connecticut and I was a little hesitant...but it’s fit and finish are amazing. I can tell they love what they do. It functions & shoot beautifully too.
Personally old cowboy guns have always had an important sweet spot in my heart and at the very top of that list of firearms is the lever action rifle. Thanks hickok45 I haven't put the money aside to buy one so seeing it displayed and fired is a treat.
Congratulations Hickok45 for the videos in CZcams, the Winchester rifle also were used during the war of pacific(1879-1883) by the Chilean Army, specially by the Calvary that conquered the Atacama desert with Chilean horses that resisted the desert weather, the heat of the day and the cold of the night when fought against Peruvian and Bolivian Troops, my respects, I like your guns videos, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱,and god bless America.
I bought one like yours today. Uberti does a very good job on these, it compares very well to my 1888 vintage 1873 in 38WCF but my new one is a .45 like yours.
Where did you buy it if i may ask
@@Cheaps928 It was at a local shop being sold as a used rifle, $1,000. But actually LNIB.
@@3ducs cool i was asking because cimarrons is out of stock but i found many of them on gunbroker. Im just wondering how long do companies take to restock them.
I’ve been thinking about picking one of these up for a few years now in 44-40 along with a single action also in 44-40 for hunting and plinking. My all time two favorite firearms
Hickok you remind me so much of my papaw which sadly has passed away you guys shared the same interests in things like I seen you wear some Harley Davidson stuff he loved Harley Davidson lol he owned tons of Harley's and you guys both loved guns my papas favorite gun was his glock 17 he had for a long time that my mamaw bought him and you two also wear the same kind of shirts he always wore some kind of shirt like the ones you do with the pockets on it lol my papaw was also drafted into the Vietnam war but I'm not sure if you were in the war no matter if you were or not you would've made a good soldier I bet haha.
R.I.P🙏
bulletproof895x im sorry to hear that.
Greetings to all!
I am the proud owner of two 1873 rifles.
One is an Uberti 1873 chambered in .38/357 with a beautiful walnut stock with blue steel with case hardening.
The other is a 1873 Taylor's and Company that has a beautiful "stainless " looking finish that is known as " in the White".
It is not stainless but of the same material as its blued steel counterpart.
It is to be cared for just as it was blued steel.
Absolutely beautiful rifles!
I actually found out that my ancestors whom were actual "cowboys " actually owned and used these very same rifles in their lifetime.
It really felt good to know that African Americans Cowboys used a rifle that I and my father had been a fan of for many, many years.
I'm the proud owner of many Uberti and Taylor's and Company rifles and revolvers.
Amazing firearms.
I bought a Navy Arms (Uberti import) Winchester 1873 in 44-40 WCF because of this video. The coloration of the receiver makes it a work of art in addition to a fine rifle. Just too much fun not to share!
Like many, I'm fond of modern rifles and the seemingly endless variations in semiauto pistols. Still, when all is said and done, I always go back to my 1873 lever rifle and matching caliber single action revolver. They truly were and remain, in my view, manifest perfection in firearm design and usability.
Thanks so much for finally bringing out the Uberti 1873 for us, hickok! Sure hope you get to feeling better, soon. Tt.
What I love most about your videos is that how you challenge the targets before shooting them :)))
Always impressed.., a man who can shoot any rifle you put in his hands👍💪
Used to watch your videos a while back then computer broke and couldn't remember my youtube login stuff! Glad I found your channel again love your videos! Keep up the good work!
You Hickok45 Facebook followers are seeing this one early, just in case you wonder why the views and comments are not typical at this point.
Very kind of you, sir. Please take care of yourself. Concerned for your health!
I was curious as to why this didn't show up on youtube, i guess that makes us your VIP viewers haha
im glad youre active on facebook
sickok45 :^)
you sound kinda sick in this video I hope you get better soon
I now will be a Uberti - Cimarron 1873 owner. I got the 44-40 caliber with the 24 inch octagon barrel. Coming to a range near me soon!
Love mine ,, very accurate rite out of the box ,,, got mine 3yrs ago ,,, absolutely love it 😊
Bought an octagon 26” barrel 1873 from Navy Arms back in 1980 but the gun had one problem after another. But it was case hardened with beautiful wood. Finally got rid of it. Years later got an Uberti also in 44-40. Its beautiful too just no octagon barrel.
Most beautiful rifle ever made in my opinion. I also like the toggle system action better than the browning design.
Movie Name: Winchester 73. I have watched it many times. It has Rock Hudson as an Indian war party leader and Tony Curtis as a Cavalryman. Both are small parts from early in their careers. Jimmy Stewart stars.
We have a fullly original one in mint condition. I love the thing. 38-40.
What a lovely piece of machinery you have Sir, tanks for the video
Words can't describe how fun your videos are to watch!
Thanks for the great video. The movie you mentioned, "Winchester '73" with Jimmy Stewart, is a great movie and displays the high regard for this rifle. Take a look at some of the actors making a debut in that flick, Tony Curtis as a US Cavalry soldier and Rock Hudson as the native American Chief! Again thanks for letting us all see the '73 in action.
Great video, like all your offerings. Just a note you can get a rear sight blank to fill the dovetail from Homestead Gun Parts. I have used them a lot to get obsolete parts for old winchesters. There service is second to none and they have just about everything your need. I live in Canada and have never had a problem getting there products up here. They are on the internet.
That is a beauty! I remember watching old reruns of " The Rifleman" episodes with my Dad. I've liked lever actions ever since.
GREAT Video as always!!!!
I too can remember the nights in the smoke filled, dim lighted, bars......Viva Winchester!!!!
I absolutely love my 73. I have the exact same rifle fitted with a Malcom sight. Lots of fun.
Mine is an original, vintage 1888, in 38WCF, aka .38-40. The bullet is actually .40 caliber. It wasn't cheap but not much more than a good replica. For being a black powder rifle the bore isn't bad, it shoots well.
You feeling okay Hickok? Your voice is raspier than usual.
Hope you are feeling good.
Wonderful rifle, thanks for sharing it with us. I was actually thinking about a henry but now I have to think weather or not to get this one instead. I wish I could buy both but I think because I love the old winchester shotguns I will go with this rifle and maybe get new cowboy action .45 revolver so I can really walk the walk lol.
Thanks. The '73 was an awesome rifle. Made until 1923, they were very popular and durable. While accurate enough, it was a true beater rifle.
I have the same rifle in 357 with the octagon barrel. I love it. The action is like butter. Great video, hope your feeling better.
What barrel length is this one that hickok has? And what about yours? Im lookin tk get one in 357 as well but i dont like the long barrel ones, i like a mid size, maybe a 20" right? Are the 20"s the regular size? Or are they considered short barrel?
Mr Hickok45 mentioned another great youtube resource in Tenoutdoor 9. His ballistics testing was an invaluable resource for me. I believe he stopped testing ammo all together now. Sorry to see him stop but I'm sure that testing was expensive along with the time spent on cleaning up and reusing the gel blocks. Thanks again to him and Mr. Hickok45 for the demonstrations.
Beautiful rifle! And another great video as always!
Love hearing you ring that steel. Thanks for the great videos.
I own an 1860 Henry a 1866 Winchester both In 45LC and a 1873. The 1873 in 357 and is my favorite rifle by far. I owned an 1876 in 45-60 but sold it it was a disappointing rife. I did all my CAS with the 1873 and a pair in SAA Uberti shooting 38spl because I'm cheap and I have 6000 38spl rds.
Hi,
I've been watching your shows for along time but never could figure out how to comment to you didn't know I needed to be log into account. Well here I am the 1873 is a great gun I was lucky to shoot one well I was in Arizona. I'm glad you send out e-mail every time you have a new program as love to watch them and have learned allot from them.
I have a 1936 Smith 38 spl. CTG and wanted to know the frame of it and you answered that for me. Mine is just like new from the store. I'm living in CA. And moving to Yukon, Oklahoma soon maybe I'll get to Tennessee and get to meet you and show it to you.
God Bless NRA

Winchester73 is the name of the Jimmy Stewart movie,Awesome movie as are your video's!!! great job hickok45!
I love the sound of the cocking mechanism on that rifle
Love both my 73s !! And I also love the old 45 Colt cartridge. winchester 73 one of my favorite movies.
I have the "half-octagon" Uberti 1873 in .357 mag :)
It shoots beautifully.
How does it do with .38’s little cheaper to shoot I want one bad
I'm going to get one in 2020
Excellent video presentation as always! I have the same Uberti '73 as that but with the shorter carbine length barrel, 18" I think. A lovely rifle in handling, performance and beauty with the case hardened receiver. Thanks again!
I own one of these and not only is it beautiful, it is as smooth as silk.
I just got a brand new Winchester model 1873 Sporter, one of only 250 made. What a beauty! Grade III American Walnut, 24 inch octagon barrel, case hardened, and mine is in .357/.38. I was going to get a Uberti, but placed a bid on this one and got it! I didn't even know that it was one of 250! I was excited to learn that. Jimmy Stewart won a 1873 Winchester in his movie and it was one of a thousand. Maybe I should make a movie! LOL! Anyway, I sure do love it. Thanks for the video.

OF COURSE, I own a Winchester 1873
If EVERYBODY did?
We could relax gun-laws...
I get GOOSEBUMPS, when I unsheathe my rifle
“THE GUN THAT WON THE WEST”
Oh my lord
I got mine from my grandfather
but
I imagine all the men who have held it,
->defended themselves, family, COUNTRY with it?
and
I stand in RESPECT!
An 1873 had ONE JOB
👉🏽DEFEND U.S.A.🇺🇸
What if our leaders, were like The 1873zzz
8:25 the perfect sound
mr.hickock
my grandfather ma has given a 44 40 winchester carbine model 1873 manufactured in 1880 was occupied in the west and then in the Mexican revolution
Hickok45 my grandfather gave me a 1873 carbine manufactured am was made in 1880
Some firearms just need no words....this is one of those!
What a gorgeous looking rifle! Wouldn't mind owning one someday.
and the Sharps was the rifle that made the west safe for the '73
Next year, I am old enough to get a job (14) and I am planningn on joining Western Competition Shooting/Cowboy Shooting. All of the supplies I have is gathered online, with a total of $3,200! I am going to buy a pare of Cimarron Pistoleros in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, a Cimarron 1873 lever gun in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, and a Winchester Takedown Model 1873 in 12 guage. Wish me luck
I don't do cowboy shooting but I do own a '92 in 44mag. One reason I can think of that competitive cowboy shooters might opt for the 38sp is economy and not because they want wimpy loads. I haven't researched it but I'm willing to bet that costs of 45 colt is significantly higher than 38sp. Even if you hand load I'm sure the 45 colt holds a lot more powder than a 38sp. So if someone is a competitive cowboy action shooter and needs to be conscious of $$ it would make sense to run 38sp in both the rifle and the revolvers. Some of us kind of have to watch how much we spend on our shooting hobby. Oh BTW, another excellent firearm and video Hickok.
Imagine if you break into his house, and you say “Hickok45 here, my grandchildren got this realistic doll to test some of my firearms” and you hear 30 sound of loading guns
LOVE that octagon barrel, can't wait to get one
Im starting to like the octagon barrel too even tho i didnt at first. But do you know what size barrel this one is? I want to see how long a 20 inch barrel would be because i dont like the long barrel ones, i want a regular size one
Not sure if you'll see this Hickok45, but I just bought a Winchester 1873 30" musket with bayonet. Chambered in 44-40. Holds 17+1. Beautiful rifle. Only 5% of the '73s were the muskets. Happy shooting. Love the channel!
Nice. When was it made?
1891. Seller says the rifling is still in good shape! Hoping to actually shoot it soon 🤠. Would love to see you do a review of it!!
Hickock our friend---thank you for making firearms come alive for us----YES--I will have to purchase a Uberti like yours now darn it!!! Your video has cost me another 1,000 bucks--but---thank you, I need one of these and did not know it till your video. Thanks!!
Honestly---this was a compliment--a great fan of yours here.
Yes--only today I picked up two 24 inchers in .357, one for me and one for a close relative. If Hickok had not made this look so fun with this rifle--who knows, we may have forever lived on not knowing the joy. Thanks.
that is a slow moving bullet when you can lower the barrel before it hits the gong
I don't care what people say about automatics today, they will NEVER have the appeal of the classics
Beautiful rifle, beautiful shooting. Thanks hickok
Thanks for discussing the blackpowder reloads-about the wads and such.. I was wondering about it just before you mentioned them.
Beautiful weapon, long range rifle. I'm a fan of Lever-action, a piece of turbulent american history. Won the test of time. They'res a reason you call them the brush gun, or rifle. Dependable, accurate.
Nothing against the gun or this very fine shooter. But I think Hollywood's version of the Wild West is over the top romanticizing of the real situation during post Civlil War - WW I Era. Hollywood did real gun owners and real self defense advocates NO favors. Hollywood's version is good entertainment - just don't take it as realistic. "Winchester '73" was the actual name of the movie Hickok mentions, btw.
I love how happy he is while shooting this gun
I think the 1873 is the most beautiful rifle ever made.
Take some whiskey for that cold, see how it likes blood in your alchohol. Cowboy guns rock!
This gun is used by the Ottoman Turkish soldiers of 20 000 in Turks-Russian war in Pleven-Bulgaria against the allied russian-romanian forces of 100 000. Turks who are defending and trapped in Pleven used this gun effectively against russians and inflicted a heavy causalty on russians. 1. battle 1000 casualty of Turks versus 4000 of russians. second battle 2300 turks vs 7000 russian 3. battle 5000 Turks vs 20 000 russians. Turks trapped in Pleven surrendered at the end because they couldnt get support from İstanbul, but the winchester repeater gained a repution as a superior and fastest gun and influenced the military strateğies after the war.
+uluç yamalı Yes, it gave birth to the Mosin Nagant. The Russians figured out that they needed to upgrade to some sort of repeating rifle.
+uluç yamalı thought it was the 1866 winchester
Lol scratch and sniff, that's very funny Hickok
Never tried black powder, seems like a real pain. gorgeous rifle!!
brilliant idea on scratch and sniff strips, I'd buy one or two. one for home and one for work for break time meditation.
Love to see a review of the Uberti 1873 vs the new Winchester Miroku 1873... itching go to get one but not sure which way to go... love my wife's miroku browning 270 blr but also love my Sabatti 45-70 double rifle... so hard to choose between Italy and Japan having not been able to find an Italian 1873 to look at in person.
A wonderful, awesome video Mr. Hickok!!! Excellent historical information too!! And yes please come out with scratch and sniff black powder strips for your viewer’s!!!😂to buy!!😅😅
My favourite gun of all time. One day I hope to be the custodian of one of these.
I bought a new Uberti 1873 .45 Colt rifle in this same configuration a few days ago. All the specs I can find says that it holds "13+1", but mine holds 15+1.
that black powder absolutely rocks !! God Bless Sir.
It is fun watching you shoot that 1873.
“… and you’ve got a 9mm sub machine gun in your car…”
Of course we do! 😆😂🤣
Hickok thanks for doing this video. Especially getting the gun dirty with that black powder loads!! Was lovely to see.
Live in uk so these not legal but lived in Australia for a while. Slaughter man butcher came to farm. Had this horse Humanly putting down cattle. Lovely rifle. Really light and handy rifle. Not like a martini henry rifle from similar time in uk Heavy in comparison.
Excellent piece of weaponry & history!
