I was think and wanting (boy do i want a lot of cool things from this forum.) a type I 1866 carbine. I know Taylors has them engraved ones, but Im not really into engraving. I also know that cas shooters and general interest in 19th century firearms isn't the hot thing in the firearms world. But does anyone here think it would be sweet if Taylors or Cimarron decided to make some type I '66 carbines that aren't engraved special editions? I know that there isn't much difference between the type VI's everyone has and the type I '66s, mainly just Henry hump, and most people wont give a hoot from a distance. But wouldn't be nice if they did? Uberti made the special run and I know that'll most likely be it. (I already bugged the people at Taylors about it.) But knowing Uberti can, would be nice if they made some more. any one else think the same?

I agree, it would be cool.  I think the closet we will ever get is the few "Transitional" Henry rifles they made.

I was actually unaware Taylors even had a limited number of Type 1 1866s.  Velly InterestinK (Same stolen line).
