The Winchester 1873 Wins the West Again at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West

By Justin Stakes

Cody, WY -(, the 1950 film starring Jimmy Stewart, the rifle bounced from “one ill-fated owner to another and parallels a cowboy’s search for a murderous fugitive.” Like the actors in the movie, this Winchester Model 1873 was truly a star.

“It’s easy to see why the model 1873 Winchester is widely known as the ‘Gun That Won the West.’ Its production run was so high that it became the everyman rifle of choice,” explains Ashley Hlebinsky, Cody Firearms Museum Curator. “Factor in its reputation expressed in movies and literature, this was one popular firearm. To replicate the Model 1873 as our Centennial Rifle here at the Center of the West is incredibly special.”
