Nice read RR, thanks.

Looking forward to photos of your soon-to-be rifle trio some day real soon.dddrees wrote:Thanks, and I hope so. It really is the one that reignited my interest in lever guns.

Those first three really are the ones I've always wanted most.RanchRoper wrote:You will enjoy it. I hope you get the same historical thrill when you shoot yours as I do with mine.

I don't have one yet but should be getting my Henry reproduction in a few weeks. I went with the New Original Henry from Henry. So whether it's from Uberti or Henry Repeating Arms it's one of those firearms that are just plain gorgeous to look at and just truly fantastic to own and I can't wait to fire it.

Wood curing & such? they should already have stocks (or at least blanks) prepared from previously cured wood.and they said to replace the forearm which is what will be required will take three to four months. Wood curing and such.
When I initially spoke to CS before sending the gun in and they said they had some on hand and if they could match it it would be 4 to 5 weeks and double that time if they couldn’t. When I spoke to CS at 4 weeks I was again reassured that the initial assessment was the same and the CS person said they had plenty of wood on hand and a good chance it would be done soon. At 5 weeks I was told it would be 3 to 4 months. This time the CS person supposedly checked with the gunsmith and he looked at the forearm and said it would require replacement.Mistered wrote:Wood curing & such? they should already have stocks (or at least blanks) prepared from previously cured wood.and they said to replace the forearm which is what will be required will take three to four months.

This does not sound right.
Thanks, and sorry for sidetracking your thread.RanchRoper wrote:Hope it all works out ok, and your rifle is back soon. Best of luck.
It does say it’s from Cimaron and that’s pretty typical for a Uberti which is distributed through Taylors or Cimaron.ESquared wrote:RR, I think I found it on GB. Only one listed, although there may be others out there "in the wild." Interesting to read the listing - unless you're plugged into how it all works (which, I guess, anyone who would be looking at this should be), you'd never know that Uberti makes this rifle.

All I was trying to do was find a live example of a NIB version of the rifle that this thread is about. Agreed some of the copywriting on GB leaves a lot to be desired. Makes you wonder how this particular guy got to be a "Top 10" seller, doesn't it? Not a lot of attention to detail.dddrees wrote:I’ve seen better advertisements on GB but all of that additional verbiage takes time. In the long run not sure how much that work pays off for a vendor on GB. I think individuals reselling generallly do better. Generally I have a pretty good idea what I am looking for before conducting my GB searches.ESquared wrote:RR, I think I found it on GB.
