Overview

Built on the heritage of the 1866 platform, the TAYLOR’S & CO. 1873 immediately gained popularity for its balanced handling and classic lines. This pistol grip model features a checkered pistol grip buttstock and checkered forend that improve purchase and control under stress. As a member of the Lever Action category, it’s designed for reliability and fast manual operation.

Precision-Tuned Action

What “Taylor Tuned” means on the 1873

The rifle is delivered as a Taylor Tuned firearm: a custom action with hand polishing, custom hammer and lever springs, a custom magazine tube spring, and an overall lightened action. Those refinements reduce operating friction, smooth the lever stroke, and shorten reset, producing a faster, more consistent follow-up. Hand polishing improves lock-up and longevity, and custom springs help maintain reliable feeding from the magazine tube.

Ergonomics and Field Use

The pistol grip configuration enhances handling in confined spaces and makes the rifle more compact for maneuvering indoors. Checkered woodwork on both the buttstock and forend gives tactile feedback for consistent cheek weld and two-handed control. While this listing doesn’t specify caliber, the action enhancements translate into measurable benefits across the common lever-action cartridges typically chambered in this platform.

At $2026.99, the TAYLOR’S & CO. 1873 targets the buyer who wants a heritage rifle upgraded for modern performance. The curated tuning and upgraded springs justify the premium for defensive-minded users and serious collectors. View product details and pricing
