Overview
The Taylor's & Co. TC73 is a Model 1873-pattern lever-action rifle and the first tube-fed 9mm Luger lever gun made in the USA. Introduced in 2025, it combines a genuinely case-color-hardened receiver with a walnut stock, an 18-inch 5/8x24 threaded barrel, and a 10-round tubular magazine fed through a traditional side-loading gate. Internal refinements include an improved carrier block, a lightened trigger pull, hardened screws, and fully machined internals, at an MSRP of $1,999.

Notes
Receivers are case-color-hardened one at a time, a true color-hardening process rather than a simulated finish. Overall length approximately 952 mm (37.5 in); empty weight approximately 3,652 g (8.05 lb).
Background
Lever-action rifles in 9mm Luger are vanishingly rare, and a domestically produced one had never existed before the TC73 - it pairs a classic Old West 1873 silhouette with a modern threaded muzzle so a shooter can run a suppressed cowboy gun on cheap pistol ammo.
