Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have an Uberti 1860 Henry carrier block that has been modified to take short rounds with the side set screw. I used it Civil War reenacting to feed heavily crimped 38-40 made into blanks in either a 45 or 44-40 Henry. It would work on short .44 Russian or .45 Cowboy. I'll do $60 shipped, PRICE NOW $50 since a new, unmodified carrier block is $60 plus shipping from VTI. I gave $75 plus shipping 10 or 12 years ago.

grey ghost Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Now you have me wondering how many Schofields a trapper Henry would hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 My 45 Henry held 14 of the 200 to 230s, and 15 of the 180s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 BTT still available. Great for making a 15 shooter with 45 Cowboy shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I wonder if it would fit a Chaparral 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Shooter Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Would it fit a '73? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 No, Uberti 1860 only. There is no cut out in the side for the loading gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trvlrmn Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Does this require any modification to the rifle? I am specifically asking about a Uberti Henry now chambered in 44-40. Thanks. -- FCT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Out of curiosity, would a Henry in 44-40, with that carrier, be able to chamber and fire 44 Russian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just on the verge of asking the same thing. A 1860 44-40 Trapper(16 1/2") is on my radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's not a case of "Could You" as much as it is "Should You." Blow-By is going to be horrendous. You're going to over expand and split a bunch of cases. With a 44-40 the only way to do it right is to cut out and sleeve the camber down to either 44 Special or 44 Russian. Just firing 44 Russian in a 44-40 chamber is bad Juju. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of where my thought process was, but I asked because I've heard (maybe from you) that a Henry in 44 special is rarer than Hen's teeth, so who and why would someone make a 44 Russian carrier for a Henry?

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That I know of > > > > they don't. Someone will however, copy the cartridge stop used in a 45 Colt rifle to permit using a Cowboy 45 Special case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
