Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I didn't want to highjack the other thread on 1873 for this question on the 1873 so the new thread. This rifle is an Uberti 1873 that was imported by Western Arms Corp in New Mexico. What I am wondering will any of the current short stroke links work in this rifle? What else can you tell me about availability of parts or wives tails about these guns. Thanks for looking & your help, Marlin (Wishing you all a Merry Christmas) Buckhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 What caliber is it? I know the 38 Special guns changed over time but don't know about other calibers. I have a Euroarms 1873 44-40 that was made probably in the 70's and all current Uberti parts are the same. The only difference is it has a one-piece firing pin.

Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 This one is actually marked .357 magnum. This gun has a 5 digit serial number 40xxx. The front sight is one the barrel and not on the barrel band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I think that yours is after the changes and the aftermarket parts will work. I heard it was the 3-4 digit serial number guns that the parts won't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Doc Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. Anybody else got any input for me. Marlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootin Tootin Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Marlin, I have a 5 digit Uberti Yellowboy 97XXX without the W prefix, and it has a CI super short stroke in it. It runs great. If the short strokes work the same in 66 or 73 then I'm guessing it's worth a shot to contact CI...........Regards.........RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
