Just posting this out of curiosity. I have been looking at getting an 1873 uberti rifle with the 24 inch barrel in 45 colt or 44-40. Originally I was stuck on 45 colt but now I'm considering 44-40 just for historical purposes, even though I wont be shooting black powder. Then I started to think if I did want a 44-40, an original winchester might not be out of the question. How much is an original 1873 in 44-40 with a 24 inch octagonal barrel going for now? Doesn't have to be in perfect shape by any means just good mechanically with a decent bore. This isn't a want to buy ad, I just want to get a feel for the market of these original winchesters as I've seen prices all over the place and haven't looked too in depth into them.
