It's the favourite rifle of the 'gamers' as it lends itself well to short stroking. No, I don't own one.

I have two '73s. A long rifle and a short rifle, neither are short stroked.  I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. If there only 3 in my category, I'm guaranteed 3rd place.  ;)

One '73 I could live with is the Uberti octagonal Short Rifle in 44-40. Just don't want to pay for one.

Had a Uberti '73 1 of 1000 rifle in 44-40. Beautiful rifle to look at, but I didn't like shooting it and couldn't wait to get rid of it. Too much rife for the calibre.

I have an original octagon barreled rifle that had been shortened to short rifle length. I had to have it relined. It shoots like a hot dam. It is still my favorite, although I mostly use an Uberti '66 in .38Spl.

P.S. I'm in Victoria.

Yes, just bought a 44-40 SRC with a short rifle barrel replacement with .433 grooves.
Thinking about a new barrel, she is not original anymore so she won't lose.
Looking for a Uberti rifle but wondering about their new 20 to 1 twist accuracy potentiel.

Just started shooting CAS at our local club. I use a pair of  Piettas with 7 1/2" barrels, an El Tigre carbine, all in .44-40, and a Model 12 short barrel. I am 75 and enjoying every minute of it.

I'm waiting for my first Uberti (used) to come in the mail!  .44-40 24".

My Uberti '73 .44-40 arrived and what a beauty! Came with standard short stroke kit (NOT removing that, sorry PJ) Marbles tang sight, Whisper springs and large gold bead front sight. An absolute joy to shoot, 5.5grs Trail Boss, Fed LP, Star Line brass with Accurate mold 43-215C bullets. Waiting for warmer weather to try it at 50 and 100 yards.

I'm definitely on the slippery slope now, just bought a Uberti 1872 in .45 Colt to go with the pair of Pietta .44-40s. Want a cap gun next!  :o  And a Kirst cylinder!  ;D

I have a Taylor and Company short rifle in 45 because that's what my other guns are and I didn't want to change to 44-40 and they are not just for gamers  ::), some of us just like the '73 rifle.
