[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3342890, member: 8862"] I'm spitballing this. Never competed in SASS and I didn't have a drink at the Long Branch Saloon yesterday either. But I believe one of the reasons the Winchester 1873 copies have been so popular with cowboy action shooters is because there's a "short stroke" kit you can install to allow you to cycle them faster. Unlike in the old days of using the 1873, you don't have to do a full lever throw (only about 20 degrees, I think) to cycle the action. This makes you much more competitive in the matches, I'm told. Personally, I like the 1873 style carbines and rifles for another reason, they don't have the lawyer safety that modern made 1892 and 1894 models seem to have (i.e., Rossi and Winchester of recent vintage).
