Nice revolver gak.
How did You do the antiquing ?
I have been thinking of something similar.

Regards

Thanks for the replys.
I will see if I can find an alternative, or maybe save some cash
and get the real stuff.

Regards

I dont have the finances for the real ones, but does anybody know if these fake ones from Brownells will fit ? http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/grip-parts/grips/reproduction-exotic-revolver-grips-prod31928.aspx?avs|Make_3=Uberti Its the stag ones for the Colt SAA, not the ivory ones for Uberti...

Thanks for all the qualified anwers so far. They haven´t made it easier to deside
But I only live once, so I will order one with a brass grip-frame

I`m in the market for a SAA 1873 in 45 Colt. Looking through the web-sites of some of Italian makers, I can see, that some of the revolvers are made with brass grip frames. I think, that it looks quite handsome, but: Back then, were they ever made with brass frames, or is this a replica thing ? Rega...

Go to Chiappa´s homepage. Download their catalogue and look at page 28.

Try to contact Uberti spa ( Italy ) on info@ubertireplicas.it Att. Suzanne.
She is usually very helpful. If You are lucky she will ship the part for free.

What is the difference between the carbine and the rifle action ? From the guns that I have handled and the pictures that I have seen, I havent noticed any difference.

Regards

I have one too (sorry its a 45 colt) and have had 150 shots through it. Fit and finish is very good and the action is very slick with short stroke. No need for additional gunsmithing work here. No jams so far, not even with a full magazine. The trigger, allthough not target grade, is far better than...

One more for Colt Burgess

And dont forget the Danes.
( The highest number of deads compared to the population size )

Thank You for the answers. I will order one today.

Anybody who has experience with this sight:http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=5326 ... seye_Sight. Good or bad. I am thinking on installing one one my new Burgess.

Regards

Of course, your "little country" WAS once the scourge of the World... So hoist a flagon, put on a horned helm, and raise the Uberti to Niefelheim and lay waste to Europe... It needs a good Viking Raid. :twisted: Be careful......... I have send Hugin and Munin to watch Your movements, and ...

In my little country to get one of these. Uberti 1883 Burgess in 45 Colt. I havent had the time to shoot it yet, but its the first rifle ever, that I dont want to take apart, to slick up the action. Both action and trigger are smooth as butter. What do You think? http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...

It is copperplated bullets from H & N. Reloading data should be as for lead.

Has anybody been using Triple Seven ffg in 45/70 with 300 grains bullets. I know that the bullets are light, but I have plenty of them.

Regards

Thank You for all the answers so far. I must admit that I am still a little confused, but am I right in the following conclusions: 1. A Sharps is a stronger construction than a Trapdoor. 2. Allthough not the fit and finish of a Shiloh, an Italian Sharps is made of better steel than the original. 3. ...

I am now the lucky owner of a Sharps 1874 ( Italian made ) cal. 45/70. The plan is, later on, to use it for black powder shooting, but for for now it will have to be smokeless. The reloading data from various powder companys all shows loads around 30.000 psi. ( except for trapdoor loads around 17.00...

Thank You for the suggestions. I Think I will try with a piece of brass, and if that fails I will try the lead.

Regards

I have just mounted a Lyman No.2 tang sight on my Italian made Sharps 1874 (Chaparral). I want to remove the rear buckhorn sight, and replace it with a slot blank or a fold down sight. The dovetail is measuring 0.480 and all the sights/blanks that I have come across are 3/8. Do You know if its possi...

Thanks for explaining.

Regards

I have just been looking with my fingers on an Italian made Sharps 1874 ( Chaparral ) cal. 45/70. Why is there a half-cock posistion on the hammer? It can be loaded without touching the hammer. Is it some kind of a half-cock safety ala Winchester?

Regards

Thank You Guys. Actually I have been here before a couple of years ago as haterock without 2, but I could not log in, so I had to register again. As for hunting it is pretty much the same as UK. Fox, roe-deer, doe-deer, red-deer and a lot of different game-birds. Many danish hunter are hunting in Ge...

The town in Denmark where I live is, directly translatet from danish to english called Haterock. I think it sounds a little cowboy´ ish.

Regards

Do anybody of You guys know, if the current line of Winchester or Uberti Hi-Walls 1885 can take the pressure of modern 45-70 loadings, or is it black-powder pressure only?
