My LGS has an 1866 Uberti Winchester Trapper in 38 Spl. I've been eyeing it as a CAS match gun to shoot Frontiersman with my Uberti 1860's.
Couple of questions: 1) Specs state this model's capacity is 10 rounds but one review says 8 recommended. Why? Is there an inherent feeding problem with this short weapon when you load the full 10? 2) Is the "trapper" model with 16" bbl a historically correct variant?
Any thoughts or shared experience with this rifle greatly anticipated. . .
