The Wyatt Earp Tribute Rifle from America Remembers
honors this most legendary of Western lawman with a fully functional reproduction of the
classic Winchester Model 73 Carbine.

If anything, the legend of the
Winchester 73 looms as large as that of Wyatt Earp himself. Among its many satisfied
owners were some of history's most famous Western figures, from outlaws like Billy the Kid
to lawmen like the legendary Texas Rangers. The year it was introduced, Buffalo Bill
Cody called it "the boss...the most complete rifle now made." |
Today, the Model 73 is generally regarded at the "gun that won the West."
It is truly a classic. The Tribute is a museum-quality work of art
with decorations honoring the most famous lawman in the Old West and the
shootout at the O.K. Corral, which may be the most famous gunfight in
history. The master craftsmen of Uberti have expertly created this classic
firearm, just as they have created legendary Western firearms for four decades. Each rifle is decorated by
craftsmen specifically commissioned by America Remembers with artwork designed especially
for this Tribute.The Tribute is a fully
functional lever-action carbine for use with .45 LC caliber ammunition. It has been
decorated in 24-karat gold with a magnificent blackened background featuring images of
frontier marshal Wyatt Earp and the brave men who stood with him in his defining moment in
Tombstone. These dramatic and lifelike images are the work of America's finest
craftsmen, and as you cradle this remarkable work of art, you'll feel history coming alive
in your hands.
