357 mag only?

Why would a 357 mag levergun not be compatible with 38s? I was at Cabelas and looked at an Uberti 92 Repro that said "357 mag only" on the barrel. Is the cartridge length?

Re: speaking of canoes

I hooked a huge channel catfish at Tygart Lake (here in WV). The lake is notorious for monster cats. My buddy and I were in a 12' aluminum canoe and that danged cat drug us well over 300 yards before he broke the line. We still talk about it.
