How a Winchester 1873 works

  • The Model 1873 was one of the most successful Winchester rifles of its day, with Winchester marketing it as "The Gun that Won the West". Still an icon in the modern day, it was manufactured between 1873 and 1923. It was originally chambered for the .44-40 cartridge, which was the first centrefire cartridge and which became immensely popular. The 1873 was later produced in .38-40 and .32-20, all of which later became popular handgun cartridges of the day, allowing users to carry just one type of ammunition. The Model 1873 was produced in four variations: a 24-inch barrel rifle, a 20-inch barrel carbine, and a "musket"-which was aimed at military contracts and only made up less than 5% of production.(Musket was a term that, at the time, denoted a full length military-style stock, not to be confused with a true smoothbore musket). The standard rifle-length version was most popular in the 19th century, although Winchester would make rifles to order in any configuration the customer wished, including longer barrels or baby carbines with barrels as short as 12 inches, octagonal-shaped barrels, colour case hardened receivers and fancy engraving.

      Looks quite reliable, robust and less prone to malfunction.
      The breech loading procedure, and cartridge ejection mechanism.
      Sets off alarm bells for myself.
      I wonder, what the recoil, is like.
      I worry about the spring degrading.
      I would be worried about malfunction. I can't understand the cocking mechanism. For myself, for maintenance. It's going to be too hard.
      I am not a regular shooter, so. I am thinking that. I would like to manufacture my own ammunition and gun in a slightly different way.
      To give, reliability.
      Something that's not, going to degrade over time. If it's locked away.
      Something, simple to service. Needing, perhaps ammunition that I might feel comfortable with storing in the home.
      And, if the gun was to fall into the wrong hands, perhaps something that's not going to be dangerous without a secret modification procedure!

    Nice video...I own a .30-30 model 1894 (manufactured in 1957 so it's one of the "old" good ones)...great rifle, I still deer hunt and hog hunt with it and taught my two boys marksmanship and firearm safety with it (Funny story, my youngest boy and me were at a rifle range and I was teaching him how to zero a rifle so we start at 75 yards. I tell him to put a round in the middle of the target with the front sight in the middle of the rear sight, he does and I check it with the binoculars and I say ok now put another round in the exact same place, he fires and I look and don't see a 2nd hit and tell him I think you missed the target. When the range clears we walk out and get the target and he had split the paper inside his 1st shot with his 2nd. I started calling him Dead Eye after that).

    Wow, this is genius to a first timer like me.
    The effect is simple, pull level to prime, pull trigger to shoot, load from the side. But actually each motion is moving complex pieces, and the barrel itself is a very deep magazine. I sorta expected it to be vertical but was like "No, not enough room." Now I get it.
    Though, I also find amazing that the gun isn't the cannon, the casing is. True of any gun, all you really need to fire is a pin to strike it.

    interesting note: I think the bullets had to be blunt tipped for safety as if they were pointed, the recoil/impact of each shot could cause the point to end feed row of bullets, if they had hard points, to set each other off.

    • @michaelheurkens4538
      @michaelheurkens4538 Рік тому +1

      Nope. This is a common misconception of repeaters. Tests have been carried out by ballistc experts by even wacking the butt with a hammer with equivalent force of dropping the loaded rifle with a round in the chamber from shoulder height onto a rock or concrete. Even with "pointed" rounds and standard primers, nothing happened. The firing pin is much harder than a slug tip and the primer actually takes quit a bit of force to initiate the firing sequence. Blunt rounds save space in the barrel magazine; 1 extra round can save your life even if just boar hunting. I just realized you posted this 4 years ago, but I hope this dispells the urban myth for you.

    Chuck Conners had a 44-40 Winchester rifle in the TV show The Rifleman. The rifle is a modified Winchester model 1892 that is able to fire when the lever is closed after a round has been chambered, which enabled him to rapid-fire the rifle without having to finger depress the trigger.

      Actually, all started around 1855 thanks to Smith & Wesson... not Winchester, not even Henry did invent the action. Absolutely.
      The revolutionary 'toggle-and-links' mechanical action was EXCLUSIVELY the idea of Smith & Wesson, of the 'Volcanic' firm. Benjamin T. Henry (five years later) and O. Winchester (even much later) brought improvements to the thing.

    • @FargoFX
      @FargoFX 5 років тому +10

      I understand Henry worked under Smith and Wesson in the 1850s (and Jennings before that?). He was an extraordinary engineer, but the Nelson King loading gate (and O. Winchester's business and marketing skill) really made the Winchester into the "gun that won the west." I'd love to see videos (like the one above) of the the Volcanic pistol, the 1860 Henry, and the 1866 Winchester. Would be fun to watch the evolution in progress.
