This Italian-made lever-action carbine combines traditional craftsmanship with reliable .357 Magnum performance in a compact 18-inch barrel configuration.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced reproductions, this carbine features hand-fitted actions and color case hardened frames that mirror original 1873 Winchester specifications. The Italian manufacturing ensures tighter tolerances than typical imports, with each rifle individually tested for timing and function. The .357 Magnum chambering provides versatility for both .357 and .38 Special ammunition, offering cost-effective practice options alongside full-power loads.
