Title: Miroku 73 Carbine
Post by: Daniel Dodge on July 17, 2017, 12:57:44 PM

Is Winchester ever going to come out with a 20" SRC? Preferably in 44-40? I would love to get one to go with my 24" sporting rifle. If they did, I could sell my 19" Uberti.

I saw a special edition trapper in .357 so I know they can make carbines if they want to!

Thanks!

Winchester/Miroku probably don't see enough "Market Share" to be able to amortize extra tooling.  Although I don't see any reason to make '94 Trappers either.  Most '94s don't run well with pistol length cartridges.

 Wouldnt seem to be a tooling issue, theyve already been making trapper size carbines in 45 Colt and 357 calibers.

 I would also like a standard format carbine. Not a fan of crescent butts, especially the older type with long toe.
