Wood is not bad. Uberti is not known for fancy walnut. But not bad.

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
Off to the range tomorrow am, 50 rounds of 200 gr LFN with 7.5 gn Universal. Anticipating fun. No shooting sticks, bench rest or sandbags. Just me and the rifle. Stay tuned.

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
Glad to see you finally got that beauty in hand. I was afraid for a while that this would be a never ending thread of disappointment. Looking forward to seeing range reports.

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
Well today is the BIG day for RR this morning with his very rare and prized new High Wall rifle.
Now me being wayyy over here on the East coast I hope to hear a faint sound of a .45 Colt load zinging off in the distant Northwest around noon my time!

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
Took my high wall to the range tonight. First shot the casing would not eject. Again. This has been an intermittent problem since day one. Issue is the little ejector is supposed to grab the rim of the empty brass and pull it out. However as soon as it makes contact it puts pressure on one side of the case and the straight wall brass is a tight fit so it jams. I usually carry a wooden dowel to push the case out from muzzle to breech (sort of a muzzle unloader). Tonight I forgot it so 1 round and back home. Starting to think of how much black powder and caps this rifle would buy if I sold it. Seriously.

I’m not losing sleep over it. Tomorrow I will make smoke for my friends south of the border. Salute!

Any chance there is a smith around there that would be able to check it out for you.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:40 pmTook my high wall to the range tonight.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
The guy I bought it from. Might let him have a look. Or find it a good home and replace it with a flintlock.
