No one has answered you question in terms of the 73 replica in 38-40 yet, because they are really not all that common!

Afraid I can't either, but I do have an original 1873 in 38-40, and it is a tack driver!

Grizzly Adams

Check this link, to give you an idea as to what game folks have taken with the 1876.

FWIW, my personal choice for general hunting and CAS is the 45-60.

Grizzly Adams

Welcome to the fire, Morgan in NM. Good to have another New Mexican on the posse! Yep, Taylors is still importing and selling the 1876. :D http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/cfWinchesterCentennial.tpl Oh, and stop in at this link, and say howdy. http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/board,...

Grizzly Adams

I have the Uberti/Cimarron 1876 in 45-60. I like it a lot!

It might be instructive to check this link.

Well, it's not a steal. The 32 generally does not command as much as a 44 or 38WCF will. I would say this is a $900-1000 rifle - max.

Short version: The Volcanic was actually the brain child of Smith and Wesson, who after acquiring the rights to the Rollin White patents, formed the Volcanic Arms Company. Oliver Winchester, a shirt maker was a major stockholder. The Volcanic arm was produced both as a rifle and as a pistol. The Hen...

Yep, Cimmie 73s are neat! ....so where are the pics?

Grizzly Adams

God be with you, 45-70. I pray that your wife's crossing to the other side of the river will be peaceful. She will be there waiting.

Grizzly Adams

Winchester 94 in 30-30, without a doubt.

Grizzly Adams

Thanks for letting us hang out with ya!

Grizzly Adams

Wow, you guys are tops. Thanks for the information. I have printed this out for him.

Maybe I can get some pics taken of the rifle. He is a talented gunsmith, and has rebuilt it from a wreak.

Grizzly Adams

I agree. I have used their dies for everything from 45-75 to 38-40, and have always had good success with them. Great folks to deal with and excellent dies.

Grizzly Adams

Well, it does have a lever! Buddy of mine just acquired a Stevens 44, Model 45 single shot rifle. He is looking for info on these rifles. Anyone know where I can find info on year of manufacturing etc.? Rifle is caliber 32-40. 1/2 round-1/2 Octagon barrel. Serial #018XXX Pretty neat old girl, and st...

I've removed a number of separated straight walled cases, just by using a couple cleaning patches and a cleaning jag. Down the barrel with the patch as tight as you can get it. Doesn't always work on the first (or sixth :wink: ) try, but it's always done the trick for me. +1. I have used this same ...

Grizzly Adams

Too much gun!

Just kiddin.

Thanks for sharing the story and the pics. What a blessing to be able to hunt with your Dad. Awesome!

Found this original 45-75 ammo box on e-bay. I thought Winchester's instructions for reloading the 45-75 are interesting. Check the pics for the label with the reloading directions. http://cgi.ebay.com/Winchester-ammo-box-1876_W0QQitemZ250168683371QQihZ015QQcategoryZ71133QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmd...

Sometimes confrontation is the best way to make your point. Too many folks just sit on their hands. Good to know there are a few willing to take a risk and put an end to some of the BS!

You can bet there is not much enthusiasm down at the cop shop to go arrest the guy!

Grizzly Adams

Joe nailed it. In this day and age, no manufacturer would produce a firearm if it will not tolerate a steady diet of SAAMI-spec factory loads. Don't know why this sort of thing comes up so often and in regards to several different guns . +1.....Or why some folks ask the same question so many times!...

Grizzly Adams

Gunnie 12, I simplify this a bit with this line of thought. No manufacturer would willingly place them selfs in line for major law suits by building and selling a gun that is unsafe. Not in this day and age. For Uberti and others to manufacture and sell the 1873 copies in the .357 caliber they have...

Grizzly Adams

Good deal, indeed! Nice old Winnie SRC.

Grizzly Adams

I've used APP in cartridge before. I little compression is fine with APP, but you don't want a lot. Fill it to a smidgen past where the base of the bullet would be. If you're using lead bullets a card or cork wad under the base would be helpful, but I've shot plenty without. The "fouling"...

[quote="Gunnie 12"]Okay, Uberti make 95% of al the 1873 rifles while Chaparral Arms being the other. Who imports the Chaparral Armsâ€™ 1873â€™s? Charter Arms Is there a particular importer than has an exceptional one or ones to stay away from? All are made by Uberti, except the Chaparral. ...

Grizzly Adams

Most of the Uberti parts will NOT fit the original. I know for a fact that the carriers will not interchange, nor will the barrel. On the other hand, Chaparral CLAIMS their parts will interchange with the original Winnie 73. I have not personally verified that. Might be worth a call to them to see. ...

Grizzly Adams

Congratulations on your new Colt! Jim, Craig and Kim have posted sound advice. One thing I will add is NEVER zip (fast) spin the cylinder on any old style SA. Doing so is abusive to the hand spring, and accelerates wear. I see lots of folks spinning the cylinder like their favorite cowboy hero - Don...

Grizzly Adams

Well, if you "have stumbled onto" a 95 in 270, you might want to buy it! As Leverluver has pointed out, they are becoming rare, and that means collectible on down the line. I agree that the reason the 270 sold so poorly was the fact that it was a "non-traditional" caliber for the...

Grizzly Adams

Way off topic!

Anyone familiar with a Austrian Black and Tan Hound or a Austrian BrandlBracke?

Know of any breeders of same?

Take a look at a Jack Russel. Do a web search on them. They are fast, intelligent, and just about the toughest dog there is. +1 for the JRT.

You might try Winchester. They are making the 1886 Deluxe TD (Davidson's) with the pistol grip stock.

Just hope rim thickness isn't an issue. And then there is me ... with 062 brass. I have excess headspace of 011 because some nimwit indexed the barrel incorrectly when they cut the threads. I have a new breech bolt base coming with the lower rim support lip. If this doesn't reduce the space ... I''...

I have always thought that the 20 inch is the ideal length for the 1873. However, Taylors is now listing a Trapper with 18 inch barrel octagon barrel, and either a straight or pistol grip stock in both 357 and 45LC. http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/products/cf1873Winchester.tpl My personal favorite is...

I'm back! I can't believe Kucinich is the second most-matched candidate!!! :shock: Has this country actually got that many idiots in it?!? :roll: Looks like Hunter is "my man" at 81%. Interesting. I too was shocked to see Kucinich in second place. Nightmare! :shock: They can't be serious!...

Grizzly Adams

Probably be Solid Brass, with a High Shine and weight 4,000 lbs. :wink: Why nothing they offer interests me. That and I just thinks it's just wrong to call themselves "Henry" and not even offer their namesake. I might, and probably am, forgoing the opportunity to own a fine rifle, US made...

Grizzly Adams

careful, it can become an addiction!

Grizzly Adams

What Griff said!

Grizzly Adams

The only Winchester 1873 you will buy in these parts for $1000 is going to be a real junker. That said, the market does seem to favor the 1892. Strange as it may seem, I think the 1892 is just more recognizable and familiar to the average guy - that and The Duke carried a 1892.

Grizzly Adams

Stunning!

That is one beautiful 71! May I ask who did the work?

Grizzly, what loves them 71s, Adams

Grizzly Adams

It was a 45-60 rifle (28")... To heavy! Or maybe I'm to old. Anyone see the new alliant data on the 38-40 rifle, get this, 180gr at 1745fps or 200gr @ 1600fps all at 73 pressure. Shame we all wasted so much money on nefangled junk. We need to start a 73 forum for people that know what there do...

Grizzly Adams

The 1876 Winchester in any caliber (45-75. 45-60. 40-60 or 50-95) is worthy of your attention. They are simply the most elegant expression of the Victorian gunmaker's craft. :wink: The 50-95 was an "express" caliber and was loaded with a 300 grain bullet. As 73sTheBest has noted, they won'...

Grizzly Adams

Interesting price, too!

Grizzly Adams

My poor little .45-75 is languishing for lack of brass. I will not sacrifice any .348 brass because the success rate is way too low to continue that process. Just gotta be patient until Jamison gets back on track. Why such a low success rate? I have been converting 348 brass to 45-75 for years now,...

Grizzly Adams

This is as close as it comes to the original 45-75 bullet. These work well for me in my original 1876 rifles.

Allen Arms was an early importer of the Uberti arms. I used to have one of the Allen Arms 1860 Henry rifles. The quality and finish was excellent, which was typical of Allen Arms. Allen Arms was bought out by Mike Harvey, and became Cimarron Arms.
