I'm interested in the lever rifles of the old west, and may end up buying some Uberti replicas if I can ever get enough cash (they're PRICEY). I have some questions.
-Is there an online database anywhere?
-What were lever rifles, like the Winchester 1866 and 1873, chambered in? I know there was .44-40, but what else?
-Is there any particular reason no one made a lever rifle in .45 Colt?
-What other models were there besides the Henry and the two Winchesters I mentioned?
-What other kind of repeaters were on the market at the time? What about pump rifles?
Thanks in advance for any info. Pictures of any firearms you describe would be really cool!
