Priced at $1149.99, it’s positioned as an affordable reproduction that still offers collector-grade aesthetics and shooter-ready performance. Shop this product

Performance & Caliber

.357 Magnum: Versatile and Practical

The .357 Magnum chambering is a practical choice for a carbine. It bridges pistol and rifle performance: controllable recoil, sufficient terminal performance for small to medium game, and rapid follow-up shots from the 9-round tubular magazine. The 16.125-inch barrel provides a balance between compact handling and ballistic efficiency; expect slightly reduced velocity versus a full-length rifle barrel, but excellent maneuverability for brush work, ranch use, or range sessions.

Action and Feeding

The iconic side loading gate and lever lock mechanism are more than period-correct—they’re proven. The side gate simplifies single-cartridge loading and topping off the magazine in the field, while the lever lock ensures smooth cycling and a secure lockup shot after shot.

Handling, Fit & Finish

The Trapper’s blued receiver contrasts nicely with the case-hardened look common to the series, and the A-grade walnut stock brings attractive grain and a comfortable, traditional feel. The round-profile barrel aids in pointability, and the overall balance makes it friendly for long carry days or quick shouldering during close-range engagements.
