I remember when these came out in the early 1970's and finally bought one a few years back. The reason for no loading gate as with the larger center fire cartridges is it would be difficult to have a deep enough loading gate to push in to the center of the carrier block and have the carrier block cut away to load a cartridge. Winchester understood this when they developed the original Winchester '73 in a .22 caliber forcing them to develop their elaborate magazine tube.
Why would anyone what one? Heck, i believe everyone wants one. That's a beauty of a rifle. I'm looking for one now. All early Winchester lever actions are desirable. So far I have one or more of the 1866, 1873, 1887, 1892, 1894, and 1895. Thank you!
Always great seeing your videos pop up. Edit: about the Henry style loading method. I think the main.... Advantage..... Is that when you drop down a few 22rim fire cartridges in the tube, the noses of the bullets are not constantly fondling the next cartridges primer, like they might in a centerfire chambering. But even then, unless the bullets are very pointy, like a .223 or 7.62x54r etc, there isn't much risk to begin with. So i don't know. 2nd Edit: Forgot to say, that's a beautiful rifle!
Nice video, thanks for posting. I have just bought a Uberti 1873 in .22LR but have yet to try it at the range. Slightly more than £300 and I need to find a dust cover for the mechanism. If it shoots as good as it looks then I will be a happy chappy...
Thanks for watching! I saw that one on Guntrader, probably would have bought it if I didn't already have the 1866. Bluing looked very nice and the 73's in 22LR are very hard to find, good purchase if it works well!
@@ApurtureSci Having now had the opportunity to test it at the range I have to say that the 1873 works very well, the action is nice and smooth and it is accurate too. I'm very happy with it but I also have to say that I do like your model '66 - Uberti make a good copy of the Winchester.
That's a nice .22 lever action. Looks a better rifle than the current Uberti .22 rimfire rifle. I used to have a Winchester 9422 but got rid of it in the early 90's. Today I'm kicking myself for being so stupid, probably get a .22 Henry?
Loved your Uberti .22 cal. Review , I just bought one but it needs a new rear sight I live in Ireland have spoken to Henkry Krank UK importers NO JOY !! Can you advise where I can source please ? Excellent video .John Hogan
Navy Arms began importing these in the early 1970's costing about $79.00. As with the original Winchester model 1873 that were chambered in the .22 rimfire, they too bad no side loading gate. They were only available in rifle versions and had a small spring loaded stop in the elevator block.
Very nice, thanks for the video. I just got one that was made in Italy for a company called western arms in new Mexico USA. I'm pretty sure its one of these. It has a longer octagon barrel and its in .22mag but otherwise identical. Only shoots magnum no long rifle. They are very nice, well made. One of my favorites. About the loading gate, I've heard that there were .22 rimfire cal originals in 1866 but I can't find a picture of one. I'm wondering if that's the case maybe the original had no kings gate either?
Hope ApurtureSci dosen't mind me answering your question! Anyhow, No original winchester 1866 in 22 cal. Winchester 1873 however was made in .22lr and ,22 short, both without loading gate. Cheers
You can have as many as you can show you have good reason to own, and store securely. There isn't a limit, although I've heard some police forces will demand higher levels of security (alarms, CCTV etc.) if you have more than 12 guns.
Can you do a review of any of these guns? Chappia rhino LBR Henry Big Boy Steel Any Lever rifle mare's leg. Love your videos by the way and it's awesome to see you got a FAC :)
I intend to get a Chiappa Rhino and a Chiappa 1892 Mares Leg Takedown in. 44 Magnum soon. I won't be buying a Henry Big Boy though, they don't appeal to me at all!
@@ApurtureSci Chiappa 1892 Mares Leg I will look forward too as I plan on getting one :) Shame you don't like the Henry rifles :( I think the carbine length models are the most beautiful lever actions made. When I end up buying one maybe I can lend it too you for a review :)
@@Nathan123Davis If happily have a go with one, but (and this goes to show how subjective looks are) I think there's something really ugly about them. I can't quite put my finger on it but the proportions aren't right or something. I don't like the Marlins much either, I'm a Winchester fanboy.
I cannot find the proof marks - they may be underneath the forestock. My serial number is 2326, and its a carbine with a saddle-ring. Would Uberti help me determine the manufacturing date?
@@pvozzo Yes I believe it was under the forend, it's by far the easiest way of dating it but it is possible Uberti could help if you provide the serial number.
@@Hadi-rj2xp 0.2g is ok. I recommended 0.25g though as I find the TM hop up works better with them, better range and stability although slightly slower velocity.
Sorry to intrude, as i know you have no interest in airsoft, or tanaka.or at least can't afford it, but i recently bought an m1917 steel finish, similar look to the police positive, you think it's a good buy?
Definitely, they look amazing, I nearly bought one myself but I found it a bit too light, I was hoping they would release a Jupiter Finish model to get the weight up a bit but retail the finish.
@@ApurtureSci ill fill you in once it ships if you want. The wight between the hw and steel finish was actually pretty small, at 90 grams. So i decided the steel would be worth it. But ill see soon enough
There are two important things that to keep in mind about UK law. Firstly, it is illegal to have (or carry) something for the purpose of self-defence in England. If you were to obtain a gun legally, but kept it loaded at your bedside for the purpose of home defense, you would be committing an offence. The law does absolutely allow for individuals to protect themselves though, with an emphasis on employing 'reasonable force' against a threat. This doesn't mean the force you use has to be completely equal to what you're up against, but shooting somebody who isn't armed is very unlikely to be considered reasonable force. Also keep in mind how rare it is in the UK to find yourself in a situation where a firearm would be an appropriate response; home invasions are rare and the vast majority of criminals are not armed. That said, there have been very rare occasions where homeowners have used firearms against intruders, there was a case not too long ago where a man unlocked his shotgun to confront intruders in his home - when he announced himself one of them went to grab a knife from a kitchen draw and was subsequently shot in the arm. A judge cleared the homeowner of any wrongdoing. I suppose to sum up, it would take some very specific circumstances for someone to use their legal firearm to protect themselves in an entirely legal way. It's certainly not something anybody would take lightly, you will end up in court and you will need a very, very airtight case that it was absolutely necessary.
No, the Volcanic rifle was the predecessor to the Henry, which then turned into this rifle. Very few Volcanics were made, so surviving examples are ultra rare and expensive (mostly in museums).

That's an awesome idea. I'm getting rid of my safety too, the sights are so fine its hard to concentrate on that qhile squeezing the lever so hard.

Hello, nice presentation of that great rifle! Could you do a little shooting video?
Thank you! I'm afraid I no longer own it though!
How many units of firearms are you allowed to keep in the UK?
You can have as many as you can show you have good reason to own, and store securely. There isn't a limit, although I've heard some police forces will demand higher levels of security (alarms, CCTV etc.) if you have more than 12 guns.
Its just simply to long for me to get it all in the frame. The struggle is real. lol

Do you ever do a video of disassembly and reassembly? I took mine apart and can’t reassemble. I know “dunce” lol
Sir, how did you determine yours was manufactured in 1966?
I dated it via the Italian proof marks on the underside of the barrel

@@pvozzo Yes I believe it was under the forend, it's by far the easiest way of dating it but it is possible Uberti could help if you provide the serial number.

6mm plastic ones, like almost all Airsoft guns. No lighter than 0.2g, ideal weight is probably 0.25g.

Try Numrich arms.
