Product Description
This original WRACO (Winchester Repeating Arms Company) .45-90 WCF inert cartridge is a highly collectible piece of ammunition history. Designed during the late 19th century, the .45-90 Winchester Center Fire cartridge was originally developed for the Winchester Model 1886 rifle. Known for its power and versatility, it became a popular choice for hunting large game and for use on the frontier.
The cartridge features a distinctive brass casing with clear WRACO headstamp markings, identifying its origin and authenticity. The inert design ensures it is completely safe for handling and display, containing no live primer or gunpowder. Its lead bullet, seated firmly in the casing, replicates the original construction, making it an accurate representation of this iconic cartridge.
The .45-90 WCF was favored for its extended range and higher velocity compared to its predecessor, the .45-70. It holds historical significance as a tool of survival and sport during the expansion of the American West. Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate its detailed craftsmanship, historical value, and connection to Winchester's legacy in firearms innovation.
This WRACO .45-90 cartridge is an excellent addition to collections of antique ammunition, Winchester memorabilia, or displays celebrating the firearms of the Old West. Its authenticity and condition make it a standout piece for showcasing the rich history of American firearms and their impact on hunting, sport, and frontier life.
Please note: This cartridge is completely inert and cannot be modified for live use. Always follow local laws and regulations regarding the possession and display of inert ammunition.
