Made in Japan 24" octagonal barrel 1:18.75" twist Widely known as "the rifle that won the West", the legendary Winchester 1873 remains one of the most loved lever action rifles in existence. With the pistol grip stock and octagonal barrel, this Sporter version looks more like the tool of a dedicated rifleman than a working cowboy. Winchester upped the ante by using fine Grade II/III walnut for the stock and forend. There are many reproduction 1873 rifles on the market. And then, there is the real thing, in a limited supply straight from Winchester.

Ben, yes, 24" octagonal barrel. Since the members here are non Buds employees without inventory access, the barrel could be made either in Japan or the US. I would verify which with Buds Customer Service at LiveChat (available from 9AM to 9PM 7 days a week), the "Blue chat now" button at the bottom right of the page, or phoning at (859) 368-0371 (available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday).
