I'd like to begin a discussion on the comparison between the newest manufactured 1873 rifles as compared to the old first, second and third model 1873 rifles.
What i am looking at is the size difference, the action difference, parts interchangeability and general feel and function differences.
I have a 73 project going but may need to leap into a full shooting model complete.
How do the Italian models stack up?
Thanks all. This may not be the first discussion on this subject but seems like a good idea for a new look at these issues.
