Having just sold a rifle about to try for a 1 4 1 as I would like to get a Uberti 1873.
I realize the ultimate answer will be via licensing but those who have them did you buy them with a variation for a 44?
44/40 and fac

Can't fault your choice of a Uberti 1873 - I adore minemag41uk wrote:Having just sold a rifle about to try for a 1 4 1 as I would like to get a Uberti 1873.

Ex-member of our club had his original 1903 made 1873 under a .44WCF slot on his FAC.

44WCF is the correct, original factory name for 44-40.

Re: 44/40 and fac
Why don't you just ask for 44-40 if that's what you intend to buy ?. Or am I missing something
Re: 44/40 and fac
.44-40 is what mine is listed as. Even though I've had a load of interest mine still remains for sale in classifieds...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

In my mind I thought a variation for just a 44 would suffice as that is the caliber whereas 44-40 would be the final cartridge.
Its no big deal - FEO emailed.

Re: 44/40 and fac
Your interpretation is correct .44 is all you need. They require the calibre not the cartridge it is chambered for.mag41uk wrote:Not missing any thing.Alpha1 wrote:Why don't you just ask for 44-40 if that's what you intend to buy ?. Or am I missing something

However as most firearms certification departments "policies" are works of fiction it is always better to get their take on it.
