Uberti .38-40 1866 Sporting Yellow Boy (Octagonal Barrel)

Description

The 1866 Yellowboy was a marked improvement over the old Henry. Winchesters plant superintendent Nelson King devised a convenient loading gate that passed cartridges through the side of the receiver. This not only made the new rifle more functional but also allowed for the installation of a wooden fore-end. The handy carbine version of the 1866 Yellowboy was the first true cowboy lever-action rifle and was the first rifle widely carried in a cowboy-style saddle scabbard. The new 1866 Yellowboy was a hit worldwide. Chief Sitting Bull had an 1866 Benito Juarezs forces used Yellowboys in Mexico and the Turkish army used the new Winchester against the Russians.
