The 1866 Yellowboy lever-action rifle was a marked improvement over the Henry. It was the first true cowboy lever-action rifle, and the first rifle widely carried in a cowboy-style saddle scabbard.
The Yellowboy had a convenient new type of loading gate, devised by Winchester plant superintendent Nelson King. The gate passed cartridges through the side of the receiver. This improvement made the lever-action more functional and allowed for the installation of a wooden forend. These 1866 Yellowboys are hand engraved by Kelly Laster and in Limited Quantity! |
