Historical Background:
The Winchester Model 1866, often called the “Yellow Boy” due to its distinctive brass receiver, was one of the first true repeating rifles to gain widespread popularity. Introduced in 1866, this lever-action rifle was revolutionary for its time, allowing shooters to fire multiple rounds without manually reloading each shot.
It was heavily used by frontiersmen, cowboys, lawmen, and Native American warriors throughout the late 19th century. The M1866 became a favorite firearm in the American West, thanks to its improved design, greater reliability, and increased firepower. It was commonly seen during cattle drives, gold rushes, and conflicts along the expanding frontier.
