M1866 Western Rifle with Lever Action
Posted June 19th, 2009 by adminQuick draw pistols were not the only feared firearms during the Old West days of American History. The M1866 Western Rifle with Lever Action is also a fitting commemorative replica of one of the most popular firearms during this time. While this form of firearm was not as small and swift as one hand pistols, these weapons make up for it by packing a stronger punch with every blast.
Weighing over 6 lbs and about 39 inches long, the M1866 Western Rifle replica’s stock and fore grip are made of wood as the traditional gun was as well as a nice brass finish that looks attractive when seen from a display. The replica also features a working lever action, which is the motion used in order to refill the original one with bullets.
Of course, you will never really see any actual blasts coming out because this replica is non-firing and for display purposes only. However, fans of western rifles will find how realistic the replica looks when displayed, especially when it is place above the fireplace, which is where usually these guns were kept in the old days.
