Hello from the future. Appreciate this video. Best info I’ve found on these rifles. Just got a used Uberti and thanks to you I have been able to loosen the hammer spring and now my standard (not slicked up) rifle is a pleasure to cycle. I love this this thing. Thanks from OZ.
GREAT VIDEO thank you from A SUPER NOVICE that I am. Just purchased a 1873 Uberti yesterday ran it today for the first time ran great. Cleaned it and put away after watching this video went back to look at the hammer screws you pointed out that I had no idea what they were for and low and behold the small screw was a thread away from falling out. Thanks again
It sounds like the 1873 is similar to the 1866 which I have (original). Any tips on removing and reinstalling the hammer spring to keep it from breaking? Excellent video with extreme detail. Thank you.
I've always been "tactical" in my firearms, but recently I've been considering selling a lot of my stuff and getting one of these rifles in 357mag. Videos like this are extremely helpful. Thank you!!
So, is this a problem that could occur with a “straight-from-the-factory” Winchester? It seems that loosening of the springs is playing a role in short stroking and it sounded like you implied this would NOT be an issue with a gun that was not tuned for speed.
Talk about covering all the bases! Maybe I'm just slow! I have watched this video about three times and I still find information I missed. I short stroked my own rifle (AR savvy) and to tell you the truth it didn't take that much gun knowledge. After watching this I realized that the kit install is not rocket science. The fine tuning is! Long Hunter willing to take time to make this video and share their knowledge is valid reason to purchase their products. If you want the best tune job or a competition rifle Long Hunter would be your best bet!
great video, lots of cool info but... that hat has stolen the scene for me... best hat ever seen, truly man, awesome. did you shaped it by yourself or was just like that from the beginning? On a different note, does this also apply to the 1866? i have some issues with light primer strikes and the rifle is stock, got it used but the previous owner didn't shoot it much...
@@codycorado2581 : Yeah...I was going to advise you to screw the plate screw into the opposite plate and lift it off. Make sure you take the magazine screw plug out and lube it...so henceforth it can be easily removed. Anyway...glad you got it apart.'
Awesome very informative I learnt more in 30min about 73's than in the last few years of shooting them. Keep them coming! Cheers Old School

Just curious, but is what you’re calling a bolt tab another name for the extractor?
Best quality 1873 takedown video on youtube!!! Do you happen to have a trigger job video on an early "Winchester"...mine's got to be 8lbs???
This is great to know. I'm getting a Uberti 1873 in 357 mag and need this info.
Muito bom parceiro, forte abraço de um amigo do Brasil
.
So i am new to cowboy action and about to get a Uberti. I gathered from this just keep it factory and i will have less problems.
Super helpful video. Many thanks.

What happened to all the old videos I feel like there used to be a lot more
GREAT VIDEO !!!!
This is a great video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Great info, thanks
Is a 1892 Rifle Better Than the 1873 Rifle With the John Browning Action Sir?
Bennie Mabe the 1892 isn’t as smooth as the 73 or 66. The actions on the 92s are stronger
I cannot get my side plates off my rifle. I’ve removed the screw and they are like glued to the gun. I have no idea what to do at this point.
Henry...66...or 73?
@@Master...deBater 73
@@codycorado2581: Wow...that's unusual...did you ever get it apart? People usually have trouble with the earlier models.
@@Master...deBater I did. I called Taylor and Co and they had me basically punch out the other side

I cringed to see that electric drill being used! A slip of the bit and all kinds of damage would be caused. Kids, DO NOT try this at home!
wait i was thinking this was an real 1873 not some ,,conterfet
