Special Features
- The Taylor Tuned action means each TC73 goes through a factory gunsmith process that includes polishing and fitting internal components for a smooth lever throw straight from the box.
- An improved carrier block design accommodates the 9mm cartridge reliably, with a lightened brass carrier that keeps cycling consistent across a full magazine.
- All action screws are hardened and internal parts are fully machined, providing a level of fit and finish that goes beyond standard lever-action production tolerances.
- The 5/8x24 threaded barrel opens the door to muzzle brakes, compensators, and suppressor use without any modification to the rifle.
- The color case-hardened steel receiver delivers the authentic patina of a classic 1873 pattern firearm using a genuine heat-treat process, not a paint or coating imitation.
- The semi-buckhorn rear sight is tall enough to maintain a clear sight picture when running a suppressor over the threaded barrel.
- The rubber buttpad adds comfort during extended range sessions without altering the traditional profile of the walnut stock.
- Taylor's and Company built the TC73 to meet cowboy action shooting approval standards when used with the smooth thread protector.
