Uberti 342812 1873 150th Anniversary .45 Colt 20" Lever-Action Rifle

Uberti 1873 150th Anniversary .45 Colt 20" Lever-Action Rifle - 342812

The Uberti 1873 150th Anniversary Rifle 342812 is a commemorative .45 Colt lever-action rifle built around one of the most recognizable repeating rifle designs of the American West. This limited-production configuration combines a 20-inch barrel, traditional Model 1873 toggle-link action, engraved detailing, case-hardened finish, and classic wood furniture in a rifle created to mark the 150th anniversary of the Model 1873.

Rather than turning the 1873 into a modernized lever gun, Uberti keeps the traditional operating layout intact. The exposed hammer, side loading gate, tubular magazine, steel receiver, and period-style profile preserve the mechanical character that made the 1873 one of the defining lever-action designs of its era.

150th Anniversary Commemorative Configuration

This 342812 model is part of Uberti's 150th Anniversary series celebrating the Model 1873. The commemorative treatment distinguishes it from a standard-production 1873 Short Rifle and gives the rifle added appeal for collectors who want a functional lever-action firearm with anniversary-specific presentation and detailing.

The case-hardened receiver and engraved accents give the rifle a more refined appearance while still maintaining the traditional lines and operating system of the Model 1873 platform.

.45 Colt Chambering

Chambered in .45 Colt, the rifle combines a classic Western-style cartridge with the traditional 1873 action. The chambering is especially appropriate for Cowboy Action shooting, recreational lever-action shooting, and collectors who prefer to pair a rifle with a revolver chambered for the same cartridge.

The .45 Colt cartridge also complements the historic character of the rifle while remaining widely recognized among modern shooters and collectors of Western-style firearms.

20-Inch Lever-Action Rifle

The 20-inch barrel gives the rifle a compact, balanced profile compared with longer 1873 Sporting Rifle configurations. It retains the full-size shoulder stock and tubular magazine system while keeping overall length manageable for range use, Cowboy Action competition, and general recreational shooting.

Like other Uberti 1873 rifles, the action uses a traditional toggle-link mechanism. Cycling the lever extracts and ejects the fired case, chambers the next cartridge from the tubular magazine, and cocks the external hammer for the next shot.

Traditional Loading and Controls

Cartridges are loaded through the side loading gate on the right side of the receiver. This allows the magazine to be replenished without removing the magazine tube and preserves the familiar handling characteristics associated with the original 1873 design.

The rifle also uses traditional open sights, keeping the overall configuration faithful to the period rather than adding modern rails or optics hardware.
