Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Short Rifle .44-40 WCF – 20″ Octagon Barrel, Brass Frame & Blued Finish

Step back into the golden age of the American frontier with the Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy Short Rifle in .44-40 Winchester. Built to honor the legendary Winchester Model 1866, this classic lever-action rifle delivers authentic 19th-century style backed by Cimarron’s renowned craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

The heart of the Yellowboy is its distinctive brass receiver — a hallmark of the original 1866 design that earned the rifle its iconic nickname. Paired with a 20-inch octagon barrel in a rich standard blue finish, this short rifle strikes the perfect balance between portability and frontier aesthetics. The rifle feeds from a 10-round tubular magazine chambered in .44-40 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), a cartridge steeped in American history and still beloved by cowboy action shooters and collectors alike.

The smooth walnut stock provides a warm, traditional look and a comfortable feel, while the lever-action mechanism offers the classic cycling experience that made Winchester-pattern rifles legendary. Factory-installed sights come standard, and the 1:36″ rate of twist is optimized for the .44-40 WCF cartridge.
