You should be able to use a 10-32 for the front screw. Thank you! I went with Winchester 1892 Original screws (Screws Front 10-32x.342 Rear 12-28x1.9&10-36x.355") and the marble 1892 tang sight. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/174097/marbles-tang-peep-sight-winchester-53-55-64-65-1892-92...

I have a japchester and don't know if it is metric or American but its much more coarse than real Winchster screw threads. If you know someone with a thread pitch gauge they should be able to tell you if it's metric or American threads. I'm guessing it has metric but don't know for sure. Nice looki...

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but I would like to know how you like your Chiappa? Does it function well? What caliber is it? I was thinking about getting an 86 but the reviews were mixed, so that is the reason for the inquiry. It looks like there's a good fit on the wood to the tangs. Som...

Hello, I am posting in hopes for some insight and help. I decided to ditch the factory skinner sights and go with a tang mounted marble sight. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1682/23875726304_d5fdb16489_b.jpg Here are my question: 1.

Extraordinary rifles, professionally photographed..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Thank you sir. Taking pictures and capturing the beauty and sharing them with you fine folks is one of the joys i get from being able to own firearms with some soul. I wish i could fit the entire musket in frame.. but my len...

nothing wrong with a glock; nor the folks that have one/want one. They are just not my cup of tea. I may own one .. one day.

that musket is wonderful ! and your pictures are excellent. thanks, a very good start to my friday ! Thank you sir!

sure did.. nothing like a real winchester-pre64 1873 and in its proper caliber.. just screams classic.

If we are speaking of the musket.. she shoots fine! I put 10rds of 44-40 cowboy action magtechs through it.. then decided it was not worth damaging and saved my pennies for the uberti posted in the OP.

Spaxspore

Glocks never seem to do anything for me. It feels how it looks, that is to say plastic. About the only reason I'd even think about one would be for 10mm, and even then I'd probably want a 1911 build or something else. +1 same here. They feel mass produced with little soul. I heard they are great.. ...

i have a circa 1890s mod 1873 in 44-40 Winchester Musket. Its in too good of condition to risk shooting. You do not see a musket variation often.. i have handled it .. with its 30in barrel... Some eye candy as a thank you for the rplys! https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2830/10296749334_8d945eb739_c.jp...

My take on the Navy Arms rifles is that they had a much better grade of wood in the stock, and the one You are getting surely fit's the bill. it look's great. The new Navy Arms are built on current Winchester '73's and finished by Turnbull. people will line up to get one of these. Have Fun. http://...

Spaxspore

To clarify - I am not saying navy arms said that. Just saying thats what folks were saying on other forums when i went looking for further information.

Spaxspore

good to know guys. Thanks!

I google and found very little. But what i found was promising - like navy arms took the best lots of uberti. I see now they are using the Japanese made Winchesters in their line up.

On the 24in.. how is the weight and balance? Not too nose heavy i trust.

You're gonna fit in fine. Kirk-like quality photo's (whitch means the best!), nice guns, and animals too. ... I think OldWin is referring to KirkD, another of our "resident" collectors who does fine photography as well. Small world :) KirkD, show some of your work off here.. love to see it.
