I thought the rifle was a rare .22 caliber. But I might be mistaken.

Usually the dust cover is missing on those things
It was in bad condition and I'd guess the bore was ruined
I worked on a '73 that had a SN 1007 which would make it a very early '74
They were tooled up in December of '73 and ran 126 (I think) rifles to give it the '73 moniker

I thought it said .22 Short on the bottom of the rifle.


Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

I did not know they made em in .22, much less a short.
seemed bulky for a .22 short.

1873's were only made in 44-40, 38-40, 32-20 & 22 caliber. Only around 19,000 were made in .22
