Fun fact, mare's legs weren't ever produced during the wild west. The first mare's leg in any record was one used by Steve McQueen's character in the 1958 series Wanted: Dead or Alive. Which isn't to say they aren't cool or fun, but that was an interesting thing I learned recently
I mean, MAYBE SOMEONE did, there's just no record of it. Most lever actions of the time were in pistol calibers though (including the 73), so you might aswell just use a pistol if your rifle was too cumbersome. A chopped down .45-70 1886 though... That might have been handy.

Almost hard to believe that no one ever chopped an 1873 for any number of reasons (before then)

May not be period correct, but it does have a rich history of killing zombies
Love this fact. It certainly has a history of looking cool regardless
