Model 1873 Uberti Rifle Question

I tried to connect the two as well as I could!!

Sounds like a mighty nice bike.  I sorta went the other direction--built a softail-style bike with a Kendall Johnson 124 c.i. engine, lots of high performance parts.  I love the bike and it's fast, very fast, but I've had a lot of issues with it (example--the torque and vibration has played hell with loosening bolts, cracking the gas tank, etc).

Howdy Pards,
Thanks for the great post on the 73, because I read somewhere, and can't find the post, they stated that the 73 was the smoothest factory action of all the reproduction Cowboy Rifles. I have only started in this sport a few months ago, been thinking about it for a couple years! Been fighting with ins. company with my bad back (all the Doc's I have been to tell me it is shot), so as I started getting my guns, I wanted a 66, but didn't have that much funds! Got a heck of a deal from a dealer I have delt with for 30 years, bought a brand new Big Boy, it is a nice gun, but it aint no REAL HENRY!!
  So now that I have faced the facts that I can't never ride my old Shovel Head anymore, I have a Bud that has wanted it for the last 2 years, I made him a heck of a deal and I quess I will let her Go  and thought if I got to let her go I desire a new rifle, and I looking hard at the 73's in 45LC.
  Thanks to all that posted on this topic!

I have a 20" Uberti '73 in .45lc and I love it. In fact, maybe I should have said "I HAD" one. My son has just started WAS with me and he likes it so well that he has claimed it. We've never had any problems with it.
