I remember Mike Venturino, writing that .44-40, kept his Mod. 1873 rifle cleaner than he expected using Black Powder. He only took the side plates off once a year, and it was clean inside. My next lever gun, will be a .44-4o for sure.

The side plates on my '66 and '73 only come off once a year at the end of the shooting season; and, I could probably let em go longer than that.
