Question: anybody knows if a Chaparral 1873 rifle will use the same parts as a real Winchester 1873?
I've heard they are built exactly like the originals, but ain't found any evidence of parts' interchangeability?
Thanks!

I honestly have not used and will not work on Chapparal guns - their quality is not up to Uberti, as an example and some of their parts are much softer than Uberti and tend to wear. BUT, I have heard repeatedly that they are not 100% interchangeable. I don't believe they use the same firing pin system and I believe the link pins are not the same diameter as an original. This is certainly true of all the other Italian clones as well.
Keeping it real on the range since before there was a CGN.
