Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I would like to find a Uberti Henry in 45 Colt. Prefer Iron frame but will consider brass also. Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well, I reload 45 Colt, currently. Do you have a 44-40 Iron Frame? If so, pm me some info on it. Is 44-40 more complicated to load? Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowhand Bob, 24229 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 If you think black powder might be in your future then 44-40 is the better way. If you are shooting 45Colt in your pistols then 44-40 can be confusing for some during reloading. I resolved the concern of mixing 45 and 44-40 brass by going to 45 Cowboy special in my pistols. As to reloading, the biggest concern for me was the fact that the 44-40 brass tends to be a bit more fragile at the case mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Damned Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Horace, I’ve got an iron frame in 45LC bought from another member here a few years back. Now that my son is old enough to shoot (and he loves the iron frame), I’d like to switch over to either a 66’ or 73’ in same caliber for ease of handling (a rifle having a hand guard is nice for that!) at the range and in the field. I’d prefer to trade if possible but would be open to sale so long as I can find a decent replacement range rifle for my son. Previous owner stripped the shiny, red Uberti finish from the wood and refinished with a nice satin walnut. I think it looks much nicer but you may not. Action has been tuned and there is a lighter hammer spring installed. I have an original spring that comes with. Shoots and handles great in current setup. I’m not a current member but I have history here on this forum as well as on eBay and elsewhere if you need references or whatever. I can send you more pics if you are interested.

grey ghost Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Dawg, it sure is pretty. As an imput dash calibers, 38-40 and 44-40, are so much easier to shoot real black powder in. I have a 73 in 38-40 and put around 900 rounds of black through it last year and only had t clean the bore. Pulled the side plait at the end of the year and she was spotless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
