I would think so to but the one in the video seemed to be working just fine. Of course, they were using factory ammo.
I had one of the 24" barrel Marlin's in .44 mag. I shot 240 grain PMC ammo and those puppies cleared the Chrony at 2,000 FPS. That's a lot of horse power. I would not trust any 1873 in .44 mag but what the heck do I know.
