I stopped by the Taylor’s booth at the Shot Show. They have their own made in the US ”Winchester”Model ‘73 in 9mm. The made in the US part is exciting. I asked if they would be coming out with a 45 Colt and 38 special version. They said they may as time goes on.

Rifle or pistol?

Sorry, rifle. Winchester 73.

Would that be SASS legal?  If so, it would be even a little cheaper to shoot than 38 special.  9MM brass is really cheap and very easy to find.  Could be interesting.

Never heard of a .9mm caliber firearm, seems awful small. I wonder who will sell the ammo and if it will be expensive.

Nope. You use rice grains as bullets.

I will try to get some tomorrow. It looked no different than a Uberti ‘73 to me.

Are they offering a "SASS-APPROVED" version without the threaded barrel??

They have a smooth thread cover to make it appear traditional. I assume from your question that won’t cut it.

Here it is on Taylor's website: https://www.taylorsfirearms.com/tc73-rifle-18-9mm-tuned.html 

 

Seems a little pricey but Made In USA is worth it to some.  Looks to me like a hacksaw to the muzzle would make it SASS legal.

 

Check the barrel length.

I have one of their 16.5" 86's with with the threaded barrel.   I thought about cutting off the threads, but the are .5" long, and that would take the length of the barrel, theoretically, to exactly 16".   I don't wanna risk the wrath of the ATF over the barrel being 1/16th" too short.

It would be nice if there was a smooth cap to make it look better, but dang it, the cap is on there so tight that I can't get it off!

The threaded barrel would work well with my 1879 silencer!!!





If you heard of it, it's because it is . . .  :D

Can anyone remember Years ago when the Redwing Screw Knife people were supposed to come out with a US made 73?  Was rather disappointed it never happened

Maybe Taylors bought their work as a starting point and then finished it?  I know this thing is aimed at a different crowd, but they would be turning down sales if they don't do it in a little more traditional models, even though those have been done before.  We don't know what the production limit is for their supplier, and it's possible this model will keep them at full capacity for a while.  When that slows down... who knows.  I'm guessing at my highest level. :)

guess you could pull the barrel and turn in lathe to remove threads not sure that would be acceptable either

It's a pretty good rifle. I had my doubts about it because it, however I got to play with one in Tennessee.  The were smart to Ditch the original long carrier and shorten it.  It has a few things that can be improved which we talked about.  They are sending me one to do a review on so as soon as I get it I'll post some pictures

Didn't realize it had a short carrier.

Taylor is obviously trying to reach out to the non SASS crowd!

If this thing is ever actually on the market, I really really want to see the Carrier Block and Bolt Face.  Hummmmmmmmmmmm.

Since most of their business is non sass…

Is it really though?

Yes. Look at their website. 75% or more of their products are not sass related. The sass market is a drop in the bucket in the firearms industry.

I just did and it looks like it’s all cowboy guns to me! What am I missing here?
