Yeah, see High Tech p.109 about the Spencer (the 1865 version) and then p.110 for the Winchester. You can load these one round at a time and bypass what's in the magazine.

I will just gloss over your player having an Early Adopter Perk for having a Winchester in .44-40 in 1872 rather than 1873. :)

When asked I do try and warn people about setting a realistic western too soon after the Civil War. If you don't wait unbtil1873 or even into the 1880s your selection of toys is uncomfortably limited. Hans' Adventure Guns pdf has the details if you want to go out deep enough into the weeds.

for low realism Westerns you probably don't even set an exact date.
