Cimarron Firearms 1866 Yellowboy 38-40 Winchester 20 inch 10 rounds Brass finish

The Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy 38-40 is a classic lever-action rifle that brings authentic Old West styling to modern shooting, featuring a brass-colored receiver and blued 20-inch barrel chambered in 38-40 Winchester for a balance of historical charm and practical performance. With a 10-round tubular magazine, 1:36" twist rate, and an overall length of 39.25 inches at about 8 pounds, this 1866 model handles steady on the shoulder for cowboy action competition, range fun, and medium-game hunting where moderate recoil and reliable follow-up shots matter. The walnut wood stock and wood-colored finish give a traditional look while the fixed sights provide quick target acquisition; the sporting rifle classification and lever action make it intuitive for shooters transitioning from modern rifle controls. As a Cimarron Firearms reproduction, the 1866 series emphasizes period-correct ergonomics and aesthetic cues that appeal to collectors and reenactors, and buyers should note an FFL transfer is required.
