This one is $879.00
44-40 would be real nice.

Out of stock and no backorder for both 357 and 44/40. Despite not really needing another caliber to play with, I have been wanting a 44/40 too lately, but I think it will be in a 73 platform.

I have been eyeballing the 73s also brother.
The 73 would be mighty nice.
I was at my LGS last year and they had a brand new 1860 Henry that someone ordered, but changed their mind.
It didnt last long, but they let me handle it, I looked at the barrel sleeve that rotates for loading.
It was a heavy rifle, end heavy for sure, lot heavier then a 92.

My R92 feels half the weight of my waffle top .30-30.

I was given to understand that the '73 isn't supposed to handle the high pressure .44-40 loads that were designed for the '92.
That's one of the reasons I've always stuck to the .44 Mag as opposed to .44-40.
IF I ever pick up a '73 it will probably be .357.

I think you may lose about a pound typically between a 92 and a Win 94, maybe another six to eight ounces between a 94 and a Marlin 336 depending.

I would be just fine with the 44/40 loads that won the west,protected homesteads, fended off indians, and killed all of those deer, bear, and elk before the animals evolved and got so much tougher and harder to kill...

Being a toggle action 1873, will that gun handle true .44 magnum loads?

It might, although I've heard a number of the Colt replicas didn't match up to the steel used in the originals they might have done the math/run the torture tests. I'd like to know they did it however and didn't just crank up the machines and turn them out by the bushel to let the consumers do the durability and reliability testing like Remington seems to have been doing more often than not recently.
