Worst Case Happen with Uberti Win.73

[Klaus]

As my Grandfather would say "9 times NINE". You did not state the caliber of your '73 rifle. In any case that particular toggle lock design is known to be harmed by high pressure. While the barrel may pass projectiles the damage could be inside the bolt or lever mechanisms. Have your gunsmith remove the side plate from action and examine the linkage for cracks or bending. You were very lucky once but a '73 can refigure your face too. Uberti does offer barrels and other parts (at least there parts are listed here in US). So rifle repair may be possible. Repairs to you anatomy might take longer.

Yes you are right , my ´73 are a 44-40

Uberti sells replacement barrels but it will takes up to eight months to get a new barrel and the gunsmith`s costs are up to 800 euros incl. the Barrel.
for this price i can get a new or less used ´73

Parts of the Bolt are OK

thx for your answers
