M.T Chambers, SASS#76185 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Short and simple.......... Will a Uberti '73 in .44 Special chamber and shoot .44 Russian? The Russian will chamber and shoot in a 44 Special chambered '73, however it will not load the Russian from the magazine via the lifter without a modified lifter.

Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Chamber and shoot yes. Feeding may be another story. Could it be made to work with a few modifications? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Arrow Hombre Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I really, really miss my 44 special 73 The guys are spot on with their answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Would, SASS # 53289 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 I was happily surprised to find out that my '73 in .45 Colt would work/feed/load/shoot with .45 Schofield rounds. I was just hoping to find out if I could do the same with my new '73 in .44 Special and use .44 Russian. I just happen to know the gent who sells those modified lifters. Or I could just shoot the Russian in the pistols and Special in the rifle. Either way, I'm good. Thanks to all who responded. I do appreciate your time.

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Like all the other good answers. Shoot yes. But would need modification to cycle short round. I have a very nice one in Classifieds forsale. Rooster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Coroner Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Absolutely will do it, I've got one in the gun safe. It takes a special carrier, that you can get from the Smith Shop. Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I might try to seat the bullet out far enough to match the length of the cartridge the lifter is set for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
