Cimarron 1873 Short 38 Special Rifle (10-Round)

Cimarron 1873 Short headlines the specification sheet for this platform. Factory literature categorizes it as a sporting rifle, which frames expectations for handling and use. Factory chambered in 38 Special, built around a lever action with a 10+1 round capacity to keep performance predictable from shot to shot. Dimensional notes call out a barrel length of 20" in and overall length measuring 43.25" in, helping you plan cases and storage. Unloaded weight settles near 8.20 lbs, which influences recoil management and carry options. Furniture is trimmed in walnut with a wood finish, giving the rifle its classic profile. Metalwork wears a blued treatment, pairing durability with period-correct styling. Factory sights stay onboard, so you can confirm zero straight out of the box. Stock appointments include smooth furniture without checkering and a traditional butt plate. Magazine stays fixed to the rifle, so reload plans should account for gate or tube feeds. Without a hinged floorplate you will cycle rounds out manually when clearing the rifle. Select retailers indicate this model qualifies for direct ship where local regulation allows.
