Uberti 1866 Winchester Yellow Boy Lever-Action Rifle .45 Colt 24.25″ Brass Receiver

Description

Uberti 1866 Winchester Yellow Boy — Lever-Action Legend Reborn

The Winchester Model 1866 — nicknamed the Yellow Boy for its gleaming solid brass receiver — was the first rifle to bear the Winchester name and the first truly successful repeating rifle in American history. This Uberti reproduction faithfully recreates every detail of the original with modern manufacturing precision.

The Gun That Opened the West

Introduced just after the Civil War, the Winchester 1866 changed warfare and frontier survival forever. With 13 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, a man armed with a Yellow Boy outgunned cavalry soldiers carrying single-shot rifles. It was used by hunters, lawmen, Native American warriors, settlers, and soldiers across three continents.
