....has been whetted.
All this talk about El Tigre, 44-40 and Uberti 1873s has me going.
I am getting ready to make a move on an 1873 or 1873 Clone.
I am thinking Uberti over Chaparral. Almost any caliber that begins with a four. (.44 sp, .44 Mgnm, 44-40 or .45LC.)
I am NOT staying away from Chaparral because of perceived lapses in quality. I am staying away from them because they don't really look like an 1873. Unless I am misinformed, the dust covers are not right. Pretty rifle but Uberti is prettier.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
And (I suppose I should enter this above, but)
I have a nice trapdoor SRC conversion I would trade for one. For the right rifle I would throw in some cash.
