Gents,
I have a uberti '73 24 inch barrel that I've made several mods with after market parts, (slipxsprings, short stroke kits, alum carrier, etc, etc, even put in the coil spring main spring) in 45 colt, shoots just the way I want it too.
I do occasionally get some blowby. I load lymans 250 RNFP with 5.8 grains of titegroup. I'vs shot someones 44-40 and really like the cartridge. though can be a pain in the neck reloading.
Has anyone rebarreled their rifle? Yeah yeah, I know....I'm a tinkerer and can't leave well enough alone.
