My Latest Purchase was another Uberti 1873, This one in .45 Colt
Nice lever gun. When I read the thread title, I thought you meant one of these:

Me too! Was ready to comment about their revolvers. Colt vs Winchester, huh?

I've had a 44 Special for about 15 years. Semi short stroked and a trigger job. Very sweet! My reloads are 205 gr RNFP over about 5 gr of WW231. Mild recoil yet knocked down steel will great authority.

Very nice '73! I only own one Winchester 1873 rifle...but it's an original 3rd Model .38 WCF from 1891. I picked this up at a local gun show years ago for $700. It certainly shows it age, but the wood is nice and I liked the rifle as soon as I saw it. It also has an ivory bead on the front post which is a cool feature, and has the original 4-pc cleaning rod in the buttstock. I've never shot it and probably never will. It makes a nice pairing with my 1876 in .50-95 Express rifle. I would like to get a repro '73 someday just for the fun of shooting it. Enjoy!

Sweet rifle and a great caliber! I too have a 73 Win 45 colt mfg by Miroku.
Beautiful wood and color case hardening!
The other Uberti 1873 that I have is .357 , all Slicked up and ready for cowboy action shooting.
Nice! The 66 Uberti that I have started life as a 24” Sporting rifle and then was modified by it previous owner, a SASS competitor. Barrel shortened to 19”, new sights, short throw kit and I believe an aluminum lifter, it is very quick and slick!

Nice rifle. I had mine rebarreled from a 30 inch barrel and rechambered to 45acp in order to use small primer acp brass. Shot it last month in my cas club monthly match. Had one miss all day. I found that I didn’t like the buttstock cover and removed it during the lunch break. First time that I had really tried to run it hard. Ran much faster without it. I can still run my Marlins faster though.

Wonderful rifles. Mine is very similar to the OP's, differing in that mine has the pistol grip stock instead of the straight stock. My wrist won't let me get a good hold on the straight stock, but the pistol grip stock works great. I can dust clay pigeons at 100 yards off hand with it so consistently it gets boring. Golf balls make it more interesting.
I reckon so indeed. Nice looking stick.
I love the 1866 Yellowboy rifles and I’m hoping to pick one up in the near future. A .38 special version would be the cats meow
