Howdy,

 

Can someone confirm that the magazone capacity of the 20" short rifle (octagnal barrel)is 10 rounds for 45 colt?

 

Thanks

Willy

That's what the Uberti site says!

Howdy Willy Both my 66 & 73 will hold 10 rounds and actually the 73 will hold 11 rounds in the tube. Adios Sgt.Jake

 

I have a 66 short rifle in 44-40. It holds 10. I have been able to get 11 in on occasion.

Thanks all, I just wanted to make sure it held 10.

 

I'm going to get the rifle from Phil Rezac as suggested in my Henry thread unfortunately it may be a week or two till stock arrives in the US. Apparently there are plenty of 24" barrels but no 20's.

 

I decided to wait on the Henry though I'm fairly certain I'll get one. I'm also likely to get a TTN external hammer sxs from Phil as well as soon as stock arrives.
