CR0172 M1866 SPORTING RIFLE 45 COLT

The 1866 Winchester was developed from the Henry and production began in 1866. It differs from the Henry, however, by having a loading gate on the side of the action, a wooden forearm and a separate tublar magazine. Called the "Yellow Boy" by the Indians, the 1866 is the most deserving of the name, "The Gun Than Won The West."
