Hashknife Cowboy Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Get the Marlin, money well spent. I have a older JM Marlin in .44 Magnum. It has the 20 inch octagon barrel. I do not use it for CAS, it is a woods gun carried in a scabbard under my right knee when on my horse. It is tuned and shoots any flavor of .44 mag. They exist just have to look around for one.....

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I have bought and sold maney Marlins . Personally I never liked them . I have three slick 92s in 44 mag that I love. Everyone says the 92 is slow . Not true . The 92 can be run faster then most shooters can shoot. Look up Deuce Stevens Rossi 92 on YouTube. I did buy a 73 in 44 special that Im running BP loads threw. Alot easier to clean BP out of a 73 then the 92. But IMHO you should look at a 92 in 44 mag .

Muley Gil SASS # 57795 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The 1873 Winchester action isn't strong enough for .44 Magnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) The 1873 Winchester action isn't strong enough for .44 Magnum.Uberti makes the 73 in 44 mag .So it must pass standered presher specs. I would not run a stady load of hot 44 mags threw one . But I would imagine a diet of cowboy loads of 44 mag it should run for a very long time . But they have them listed on thier website .

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The 73 is much stronger than modern folks think. Look up the old torture tests from the 19th century, truly amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I got a 73 & a 66 in 44 special Tom, nicer cartridge than mag I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I got a 73 & a 66 in 44 special Tom, nicer cartridge than mag I think. Me too I have a 66 and a 73 in 44 special. Love them both I have three 92s in 44 mag . If I was to choise any rifle in 44 mag , It would be the 92 . Run them down to light 44 specials, Or Hot 44 mag . The 92 will do it all. I look at the 66 and 73 as sexy 44 special rifles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Hill Tirador Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Dang right they're out there.... ...not even close to for sale, though. Regarding the strength of the 1873 action, I've not seen a single documented case of an action destroyed, but over on the CAS forum there are a couple of pics of toggle link actions that were over loaded. In each case, the action survived intact, the barrel, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
