Been thinking about a Winchester 1873 rifle- UPDATED with pics.
I see Winchester is making them again plus a host of others. Not real sure I want one in 44-40 win though. I see them out there from Cimmeron in several calibers and brass frames, color case hardned and blued... I dunno...got to scratch my head. Originals are pricey but....

Antique Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle 38 WCF Second Model w 22 Inch Round Barrel & Shotgun Butt
$4,000.00 https://ancestryguns.com/shop/antiqu...-shotgun-butt/ Ah hell spend a few more bucks and get the real deal we can't take the damn money with us. These guys must have a warehouse full of old weapons from some beat up to mint condition? Like mentioned here high prices but I found them to be pretty good on negotiating price and cutting a deal.

They are available in .45 Colt as well..........its a lot easier to reload .45 colt compared to 44-40.....and .45 colt brass is easier to find and a lot more durable.
I dont enjoy reloading 44-40.....you have to lube the cases and the brass is so thin... i usually end up crumpling a few when i reload

I am not real interested in the 44-40 caliber....One of the reasons I am not pursuing an original.

I had a Cimarron 1873 in .45 for a few years. Sold it after the divorce to help fund my new house. It was a good gun and shot real nice.

Not sure which one my cousin has in .45 Colt, but he told me the bullets do "unusual" things to jackrabbits when you hit one broadside.
