Design and Finish

The UBERTI 1873 preserves the iconic Winchester-style profile with a 19″ gloss blued octagon barrel and a color case hardened receiver, hammer, trigger, and lever. The high gloss walnut stock and forend present very well; the listing notes only light impression marks. Metal parts show very little wear, with no rust or pitting. Markings include CAT.1575 stamped on the bottom of the receiver and serial number W09522.

Specifications Worth Noting

Key specs: 19″ barrel, 1:18.75″ twist, 10+1 capacity, crossbolt safety, factory blued metal butt plate, 13-1/4″ length of pull, overall length 38″, and weight 7 lbs. 7 oz. Those dimensions make the rifle versatile from field work to longer-range accuracy with the right loads.

Caliber and Performance

.357 Magnum is a flexible chambering for lever actions: it offers light to moderate recoil with effective terminal performance on medium game when using appropriate hunting loads, and it doubles as a manageable option for defensive or training use with .38 Special handloads. The 19″ octagon barrel supports consistent accuracy for typical lever-action distances, and the 1:18.75″ twist stabilizes common bullet weights used in .357 applications.

Mechanically, the lever action is straightforward and reliable. The crossbolt safety provides a simple manual block when carrying or working the action. Minor bluing wear near the muzzle is cosmetic and doesn’t affect function.
