Uberti discontinued them because they did not hold up to the power of the Magnum cartridge well .
They went back to the 44 special.
I have several in 44 special and with Keith loads its all you need.

First 4F power is for priming flintlock pans. Do not use it for any other purpose.
If you want to shoot heavy black powder loads out of a revolver go buy a Walker Colt replica.
If you do your part, a 3/4 ounce load of shot will do the job at CAS distances. So a square load using equal volumes of shot and powder is where you start.
FYI even with black powder, damascus barrels that are compromised will fail. The reason they fail can be due to any combination of intergranular, pitting, crevice, stress, and fatigue corrosion, and/or delamination. Only known way to verify their integrity is ultrasonic inspection.
I have heard of people using on small caliber pocket pistols also .

Free Bump on some
Second to None Screwdrivers.
Choctaw Silver Wolf is easy to do business with.
He has made several Screwdrivers for me.
They are great for shooting prizes at events.
And they are custom built.
Every single one is different.

I believe even the 1894 Stock also will fit the 1873 and the 1866.

If you got a good one and it worked sell it if you got a bad one and it didn't work you'll never get it to work good.
Stay away !

Every Rossi I have ever had has worked ok right out of the box .
And with a little work on them they work very well .
The Chiappa works pretty good also right out of the box .
But as we all know .
Everything in this game works better with a little massaging.

The Newer Cimarron 87 works straight out of the box also .
But No drop two from the factory.
You would have to send it to Lassiter.

Pards,
This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, come to the realization that I never shoot CAS again. My health has gotten to a point that I might represent a safety to others. To have to put these Cowboy guns up for sale is very hard to bring my self to do. I have collected so many guns over the years and protected them as if they were my children. I do see more of them than I do my children.
First, I have a, Uberti Codymatic Deluxe rifle will a very low round count, and where others choose to throw their rifles down on the barrel, because as they say "it is only a tool", I laid mine down before moving. Because a mechanic is only as good as his tools. This rifle is very smooth and with all the extras you would expect, large brass bead sight, reduced weight bullet lifter, S/S spring, Allen screw-in plug in the magazine, short stroked, butt pad, finger pad for easier loading. Flatten rear sight for easier next target acquisition.
I will box, insure and ship this rifle to your FFL for $1650. I will meet you in the Carolinas for a face to face sale or within reason just to delivery it to good home. Let me know if you come up with a better plan.
Sincerely Abilene Al
Thanks for your time. Ads for Ruger Vaqueros and Ruger Bisleys (both in 45 Colt) all like new will be next.
Brother Im in the same boat .
Do to my health.
I can no longer shoot SASS .
I choose to keep my membership .
But I have found it hard to sell off my things .
Good luck .
God Speed.

I have owned a couple of the short carrier 66's by Navy Arms over the years .
Everything you need will be a part you need to custom fit .
Nothing I mean nothing is made today that is a drop in part .

I have found the opposite to be true.
My first SASS rifle was a pre safety Rossi 92 in .44 Magnum. I still use it every once in a while.
Anyway, I figured I'd use it with .44 Specials. Well, Specials have a very real tendency to stovepipe in a most irritating way. So, I switched to Magnums. Stovepipes went away, and it has run flawlessly ever since I switched. I started out with a minimal load of Trailboss behind a 200 grain, .430" bullet. Still use that bullet, still use Trailboss, but since it's *44 Magnum!* I upped to just shy of the max load with that powder. It is still no where near factory ammo power or recoil. Shoots very well, even at rather long ranges.
I guess your success or failure with the round will depend on the guns used, and probably the load as well.I love the 92 myself.
I found loading the 44 Special long to the bottom lube groove with make it almost as long as a 44 magnum cartridge .
It will still fit in most of the 44 Special pistols and no longer stove pipe in the 92.

Thank you. It’s nice to chat with a fellow 44 man.
This 44 would be strictly sass loads. I have a Henry Steel Boy if I wanna go hot.
I worked up a couple loads for my Super Blackhawks that have negligible recoil but shoot well. 4.2 gr of Trail Boss and 180 rnfp and 3.1 grains of Trail Boss with a 240 gr semi wad cutter. I use magnum cases and large pistol primers. What’s your fav?I load full load APP with 200 Lee home cast bullet.
With the bullet just touching the APP powder .
With a good solid crimp .
Or 7.0 gr of Unique or Universal powders with the same 200gr bullet.
All three work well and is also my everyday plinking loads.

Im a 44 Man myself.
I almost bought the 44 73 awile ago .
But come to find out that the 73 dont hold up to the 44 magnum very well .
Uberti changed them all back to the 44 special cartridge.
I have three 73's in 44 special.
And two 66's In 44 special.
I really like the 44 special rifles a lot .
