Cimarron Firearms Nueces 73 .45 Long Colt 24.25 inch Heavy Round Barrel

The Cimarron Nueces '73 45lc 24.25 is a lever action rifle from Cimarron Firearms that channels the hard-edged history of Captain Leander H. McNelly and the Texas Rangers who patrolled the Nueces Strip, and it's built for shooters who want both historical authenticity and practical performance; this reproduction of the '73 series features a specially designed 24.25" heavy round barrel chambered in .45 Long Colt, a barrel stamped with the historic "T * S" marking found on rifles issued to the Rangers, and the familiar Winchester-style action that makes it a trustworthy choice for cowboy action shooting, range drills, ranch use, and medium-game hunting where the .45LC's stopping power and manageable recoil matter. The rifle's balance and heavy barrel improve accuracy on follow-up shots, the lever action delivers fast, tactile cycling for field situations, and collectors will appreciate the period-correct styling and series lineage that honors frontier law enforcement; an FFL is required for purchase, and Cimarron's Nueces '73 sits squarely in the lever action rifles category for shooters seeking a historically rooted, ready-to-shoot .45 Long Colt platform.
