Winchester Model 1873 - half mag tube?
Does anyone currently make a Model 1873 style rifle with a half length magazine tube similar to the 53, 65 or 71? I'm looking for something similar to my Winchester 71 but in a pistol cartridge, so I'd like a full pistol grip and checkering. Could have sworn I saw one on the auction side but no luck.

Have you checked to see what Cimarron or Uberti are offering? 0 -
If you are looking for a pistol cartridge rifle to go with an M71, would a model 1892 fit the bill better than an 1873? It would look almost like a downsized 71 when set side by side. Also would be a handier, lighter. Finally, although I've not done any searches, I think there are more companies making repro '92s than '73s so should have a better chance of finding what you are looking for. For what it is worth...... 0 -
Checked Uberti and the best I can find is something called the 1873 Special Short Sporting Rifle. I found one listed on GB, one picture shows a half mag tube but the other pictures of the same listing show a full mag tube. Here's the listing -

I'll have to give them a call, see which is correct. Funny thing is, I was in their store two weeks ago. Bought many guns there before going from east coast to west.0
