Sure is a different description from mine when describing my Henry SGC, which is "smooth-as-butter." ;)
But your slick expression works! BTW, more pics would be welcome.

Sharp-looking 1873. Uberti T&C does put out some fine-looking firearms; and good shooting by you, too!
Enjoy.

Very nice! I have one in .45 Colt and it is a joy to sit back with a box of bullets and plink the day away!

That's a beauty! Thanks for sharing! Need a closer pic of the half-n-half barrel. Sounds cool!

Mine transitions from Octagon to Round just a smidge beyond the end of the forearm. Not that hard to tell if you zoom in on the CCH 1873 at the end of the forearm.

Thanks y’all...you know NCG....you enabled me with that pic of your bevy of ‘73s! The ‘73 is such an iconic historic firearm harping back to a simpler time(at least it seems that way from this vantage point). Reckon as I’ve gotten older the old firearms have become more appealing...just picked my rifle up from the dealer this evening and wanted to shoot it despite the heavy rain...so did that from the wood shed..I will get some more pics and shooting in tomorrow hopefully...
