The 1866, being a rimfire, has a fairly different hammer mechanism. It honestly makes no sense to my why they added the ‘66 over the much more quintessential and iconic 1873 or 1886. Although yes the 1866 was kept in production into the 1920s as a cheap sporting gun for children and women, there’s no reason Arthur/John would’ve wanted to use it. The later centrefire models would’ve been much more common and had much more stopping power. Not to mention the iron frame was much sturdier than the brass one on the 1866. The 1866 was basically a lightly modified 1860 Henry, which we also have in game as the Litchfield.
