Cholla Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I know some of you were looking for one of these. It ends today. It's not mine and I have no affiliation with the seller. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/893960215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 As I recall, they used the same frame as their Henry rifle. So, is it a 66, or is it a Henry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Sure looks good and nice price-- so far. But remember the 24 in barrel makes that a beast. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totes Magoats Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have a 73 in .22. It’s a tack driver! Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I just bought the carbine version. It's being shipped west as I write this. I thought it was cool and IF I ever have grandkids, they got a rifle to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was cool and IF I ever have grandkids, they got a rifle to shoot. That was the reason I had looked at one a while ago. Nice rifle, but heavy. Built exactly like a 45, or 38, but with the .22 barrel this one has it would be a beast! I bought a '73 in 32-20 with a 20" barrel for my wife, but it is also very front heavy. Be a lot better with an 18 1/2" barrel, but I can't bring myself to have it cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a Uberti '73 with a 24" barrel, and it's very front heavy, and yes I can't bring myself to have it cut shorter either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Mine is 20". Yes it is heavy to and from the shooting line. But when the buzzer goes off... less noticeable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I tried for it. Didn't get it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 That rifle looked like new, though the s/n indicates it was made in '97 or '98. I'm surprised it didn't go for more than the $984 final price, considering the market today. A new one lists for $1300+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 A few weeks ago, I saw both one of these 66's and a 73 for sale at two different places each for between 900 and 1000 dollars. Long story short, some finances came together for me, and I would have been able to get both of them if I wanted them. But when I went to do do just that, they were both gone. The 66 was listed as "new old stock" and the 73 was listed as "used in excellent condition." For the one that was just on Gunbroker, I put in what I thought was a decent bid, and a half an hour before it ended, I was still the top bidder. Had to step away from my desk, and by the time I was able to log on again, I had been outbid. Oh well. I'll keep looking. I have the long had the following "goals" Small Frame Lightning Medium Frame Lightning Large Frame Lightning Lighting Bolt Pistol This goal has been met. .22 Uberti 66 or Uberti or Winchester 73 in .22 Henry/66/73 76 I have the three main match rifles, but not the small or large ones. I may even want to get both 22's, one to go with the Henry/66 and the other to go with the 73. Winchester 9422 Winchester 92 Winchester 86 Mare's Leg Pistol. Semi-Achieved. My 9422 is a .22 Magnum, so I need to get one in LR And I have toyed with this idea as well, but have not taken it all that seriously. Winchester 9422 Pre-83 Winchester 94 in .44 Magnum Winchester 94. Again, don't have the one in the middle. At the moment, I am aware that this could also be done with Marlins and Henry Repeating Arms guns, but I am not interested in those. Being a southpaw, I don't like the side ejection. It's tolerable in a .22 but in larger calibers, my wrist gets irritated by the hot gasses. I wonder if there'll ever be a commercially produced 73 Mares leg type pistol?
