Key Features

• 20-inch Round Blued Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This length balances maneuverability in tight cover with the velocity needed for reliable expansion in .45 Long Colt loads, making it ideal for both competition and field use.
• Color Case-Hardened Receiver — WHY IT MATTERS: The traditional case-hardening not only resists wear but adds a period-correct aesthetic that collectors and cowboy action shooters demand, preserving the look of late-19th-century firearms.
• Large-Loop Lever — WHY IT MATTERS: The oversized lever allows gloved-hand operation during cold-weather hunts or rapid-fire stages in cowboy action matches, reducing fumbling and improving follow-up shot speed.
• Saddle Ring — WHY IT MATTERS: This historically accurate feature lets you secure the carbine to a saddle scabbard or shoulder sling, keeping it accessible while riding or trekking through brush.
• 10-Round Tubular Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: A generous capacity for a lever gun, giving you ten rounds of .45 Long Colt before needing to reload—enough for a full revolver cylinder plus two spare shots in a string.

Who It’s For

This carbine is built for the enthusiast who appreciates the craftsmanship of John Browning’s 1892 design and the shooting experience of .45 Long Colt. It suits cowboy action competitors who need a reliable, period-correct rifle for side matches and main match stages. Collectors of Winchester replicas will value the attention to detail in the color case finish and walnut stock. Hunters in thick timber or brush will find the 20-inch barrel and carbine-length frame easy to carry through dense cover. Recreational shooters who enjoy the recoil and history of the .45 Colt will find this a satisfying addition to a lever-action collection.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Authentic late-19th-century styling with modern metallurgy; smooth, reliable action from Cimarron’s quality control; the .45 Long Colt is versatile for both factory loads and handloads; large-loop lever works well with gloves.
• Cons: The color case-hardened receiver can show wear faster than a blued or stainless finish if not properly maintained—an honest drawback for shooters who prefer low-maintenance finishes.
