Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone know how many rounds of .45 LC you can put in the magazine. Gun is a Saddle Carbine with an 18" barrel. Nothing about it on the Cimarron website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I shot a 45Colt lever boy that was a 19" carbine at a SASS match some time ago. It had zero issue holding ten rounds. While my 16" 94 could only hold 9. Based on these two lever guns' capacities; I'd guess an 18" 73 would hold ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I called Cimarron and it does hold 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Interesting enough, they list the capacity of their 16" 73 as ten... Maybe the size of their receiver allows this as a 16" 94 should have a magazine tube of roughly the same length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the size of their receiver allows this as a 16" 94 should have a magazine tube of roughly the same length? The Cimarron 16" trapper carbine has a proprietary spring and magazie tube cap to allow holding ten full-length cartridges. Also, when loading a '92 or '94, all the cartridges go into the magazine. On a '66 and '73, the last round loaded is in the frame (in the carrier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting on a Rossi trapper that I might get to feed 44 russians reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm buying one from Evil Roy and when i posted the question I hadn't had a chance to talk to him yet. When I talked to him he said he shoots a Brush Popper in .45 for Wild bunch and has no problem getting 10 in it's shorter magazine. He mention that OAL length of the loaded round has to be watched carefully. Think about it..... a tenth of an inch longer OAL would make the 10 rounds in the mag 1" longer. Thanks for everyone's input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
