Miroku makes a nice looking 1873 clone, have made many fine guns for years. This to me is not a Winchester it's an import/clone. I don't think Winchester could bring back (and produce themselves) the 1873 at a price that anyone could afford. I have a Navy Arms 24 inch 45 Colt with an octagon barrel and a color case receiver that is very tight and shoots very well. The only problem I had with it was shooting 275 gr SAA boolits faster than normal which caused the mag tube to walk out some. I fixed this by rethreading the mag plug and making a larger diameter screw and making the indention in the bottom of the barrel flat bottomed where it seats so it wouldn't walk out. Has held up fine for many rounds so far.
