The Uberti 1873 Carbine blends classic lines with collectible-level finish, a rifle that will draw attention on any safe or at the range. Its short rifle configuration makes it ideal for precision shooting in confined or wooded environments where quick handling and accurate follow-through matter.

UBERTI MODEL 1873 SHORT RIFLE

Design and finish that demand a second look

This Uberti example is described as “very sharp” and importantly, never fired—meaning the metal and bore are in original condition. The receiver features distinctive case coloring that gives the rifle a unique aesthetic not often found on modern lever guns. The stock shows very beautiful wood grain, though there are very minor dings on the right side from being stored in a safe—cosmetic marks that don’t affect function and are easy to address if you prefer a near-mint display piece.

Handling, balance, and practical use

Short rifles and carbines like this Uberti 1873 are prized for their pointability and quick follow-up shots. The combination of a well-shaped stock and a compact barrel length aids in fast target acquisition from standing or seated positions. Because this rifle has never been fired, shooters should perform a professional inspection and proofing before regular use, and choose an appropriate ammunition type compatible with the barrel and chamber indicated on inspection.

Collector vs. shooter considerations

Given the listed condition—never fired with minor dings—the rifle fits both collectors seeking an original-condition piece and shooters wanting a high-quality lever action to restore or preserve. At a listed price of $1,750.99, it sits in a range that reflects the craftsmanship and finish quality typical of Uberti reproductions.

Buying advice from a tactical perspective

Inspect the minor right-side stock dings in person or request close-up photos. Verify bore condition and ensure proper headspace and action smoothness during a pre-purchase inspection. For shooters planning to mount scopes, confirm receiver geometry and availability of mounting options. Uberti’s reputation for faithful reproductions makes this model a solid choice for anyone seeking lever-action performance with collectible appeal.
