Well i went to the Orlando Fla gun show today
and the place had quite a few lever guns...Lets see
I saw a colt lightning owned by Buffalo Bill with original photos
of him shooting the gun...and a lot of other pics and posters
of his wild west show....The whole shoot'n match was $20000
There was a winchester 76 button mag, $18000 a few 73s, 92s
3 or 4 86s...from 8 to $13000, all sorts of carbines, in many calibers
One guy had a bunch of comemorative rifles. There were lots of marlins.
and a lot of reproductions. Most levers I have seen in one show....
I'd say 75 or more. I almost bought a 1920 3030 rifle in great condition but bought this instead
Uberti 73 short rifle in 44-40 NIB for 730 out the door

It was well worth the trip
Oh yea...this is my first 44-40 and i am gonna need help with loads
thanks

OH MY GOODNESS, IS THAT A PRETTY CARBINE OR WHAT. UBERTI DOES A FINE JOB ON THEIR LONG GUNS. I HAVE TWO AND AM ALREADY LUSTING FOR ANOTHER.

I am a sucker for a octagon barrel. That is good wood as well. LUCKY DOG

Pretty rifle, congratulations. I shoot silhouette with mine and found the most accurate load for mine is 10 grains of Blue Dot with LaserCast 180 grain .431 bullet. Hope that helps.
