I've got an original 73 carbine from 1887 in 44-40, in original condition, with all their original parts and fully functional though his external condition isn't the best one. I cannot blame on it because obviously it is a legend by itself.
Attached you can see it sided by a Colt bowie and a Pietta Bison.
The rifle is not much accurate, although their rifling is in very good condition, so I suppose their issue is that today bullets are of a smaller caliber than the gun.
44-40 ammo I found is .427 and the rifle is almost .432.
Do you know any place where I could buy a set of molds for .432 or .434 caliber?
Is my problem the only one or a common one?
