A little bit more info for those interested: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=101090942 this is a link that shows a Uberti oak case for a pistol; it is the same type design and assembly as the case i have shown above. i have seen somewhere (i think VTI site) there is a rifle & ...

heres what i have found out: the rifle was distributed by Allen Firearms, Santa Fe, NM; it was discontinued in 1985 with 1000 units made. there was a justin boot commemorative set consisting of a oak case, matched sn 1866 rifle and 1873 saa both engraved; so it could be possible the oak case with th...

yes I am wondering about the quality of the engraving and the firearms. They are Uberti manufactured; not sure about the oak case. I'm also wondering if they were made as a set. I'm looking for any info you all may have on these, good and bad.

Do you know of a internet site that discusses the optics? how does the price for the rifle and optics seem?

I found a Savage 99 at a local gun shop yesterday; the unusual thing about this one was the scope and mount. The rifle was very nice with original sights removed and blanked off. The optics are a Bausch & Lomb fixed power scope with a Bausch & Lomb scope mount. The elevation and windage adju...

Ok...... who bought the Uberti, Navy Arms, 1873 Winchester, 44-40, 1 of 1000 engraved rifle i have been watching at Cherry's for the past months? I thought that was one beautiful rifle.

i say it drop from $1,995.00 to $1695.00.

i just got this, it may of been around already, if so tell me.
you may have to cut and paste.

have you guys ever used the de-glosser liquid you can get at the hardware store? it will cut the gloss; if you keep applying it, the finish will eventually be removed (takes a lot of rubbing).

at the gun store today i was looking for some 44 specials to shoot in my .44 mag. i ran across a box of .44 Colt cartridges that was sitting with the .44-40 boxes. i asked the sales clerk what is a .44 Colt; he didn't know either. after looking it up on the web, am i correct, the .44 Colt is a short...

thanks guys;
sounds like i didn't over pay at $1100.00 for NIB 1886 rifle.

whats the going rate on the standard 1886 rifle, oct barrel, cresent butt, etc.
i see prices on the high grades, but what about the standard grade?

woodstock, roswell, marietta area

although not a western or a levergun; the worst movie gun screw up i ever saw was in the movie 'hamburger hill' when the GI's were attacked at the river bridge Sgt. Frantz had the mag of his m-16 seated in the mag well upside down and backwards (yes.. the curve of the mag was facing the trigger and ...

i just ran across a pre-64 rifle. condition is good, nothing that couldnt be corrected or cleaned up. the price seemed a little high (599.00) but im not sure. can anyone help. i looked on gunbroker and the rifle i saw is in better condition than the ones there.

Is there a big difference in the looks of a 1866 or 1873 winchester (uberti, etc) with laser engraving vs hand engraving? would the laser engraving be priced equal to one that is hand engraved?

would someone post some photos showing the difference?

its on the outside of the barrel. looks like the color of brown paste shoe polish on a rag.

the gun was fairly clean and had been shot.

I finally picked up my browning blr from the gun store yesterday. took it home and cleaned it. while cleaning the barrel, i noticed the cleaning rag was turning brown. didn't really look like rust; there differently was no rust on this gun; the barrel has nice black blue in color. the more i cleaned...
