Any 73 SRC shooters here?

My dad asked me about the 1873 saddle ring carbine from Uberti (Taylors, EMF, ...etc) and is looking at it in 45LC.

How good are they and do they hold up pretty well?

I know the action is not as strong as a model 92, but, its got the "cool" factor already built in.

I know of a 73 in 44-40 that has about 1500-2000 Rounds run through it per month and this has been maybe 8 or nine years in CAS shooting.
It has held up fine and the owner ( A gun dealer & SASS winner ) continues to use it as his main match Rifle.

I have a Henry which have seen a lot of use. It was a gift from my wife about 5 Christmas ago. This Henry is my second, my first, I bought from Navy Arms in 1982 it is still going strong though sadly is not mine anymore.

I also have owned a 66 Yellow Boy SRC in 38 which I trade for in about 1982-3 it was a fine gun as well , though I sold it ( mainly because I wanted a 44-40).....

All of these have the toggle action, I've yet to have one break ! Though I did screw up the feed spring on first Henry.

I plan to buy a Cimmaron 73 in the near future. Though I find the Henry a more stable POA ( because of the design of the Barrel ) in Florida It do get HOT ! I opp for the wood forearm.

Maybe the 92 is a stronger action ... but the Spencer is stronger still  ( I have and orginial )

The M73SRC by Uberti is a fine rifle.  I've been using one for about seven years now and been happy with it.
