Richard,
The exact number is not known since a complete survey of the records hasn’t been done. What I can tell you is a approximate numbers estimated by my survey I’m doing. So far I have 18,547 73’s in it and have 131 carbines in 32 caliber which is .7%. You extrapolate that out to the 720,610 73’s made and you come up with 5044 and you can reduce that further since since the first 32 carbine I have showed up around serial 124,000 which gets you to 4176 if the production was consistent through the years.

Bob, thank you very much for this information. It was very helpful in making my decision to hold on to my 1873.
