My recommendation for Uberti ‘73’s is to just order one straight from Cody Conagher. He backs his work 100% and has probably done more rifles than all the other smiths combined over the last 25 years. Not the shortest stroke on the market but there’s a couple of shoooters in the game that shoot his rifles that don’t give up anything to anyone in the game on rifle speed.

Does anyone have detailed instructions or parts diagram to re-assemble a Marbles tang sight. All of my internet searching is coming up dry:

When Perfect Pattern first came on the scene I was intrigued so I bought an 8 pounder to play around with. I did some chrono work with it. I found that when loaded with similar charge weights as my tried and true Clays and Titegroup loads it performed very well. All my chrono work was done with multiple fired brass and bullet weights in 105 and 125gr. The standard variation was pretty low for that scenario and it burned cleaner than my normal Titegroup load. It also metered very well through my Dillon measures. As always caution always needs to be taken when dealing with unpublished data but at the end of the day your playing with 3'ish grains of shotgun powder and if you already make good ammo most hand wringing can be put to rest. Once I'm through with my 20 pounds of Titegroup and the little Clay Dot I have left I'll be transitioning to Perfect Pattern for both my .38 and 12ga. needs.

One of the best state matches I ever attend. Held at a private cowboy only facility. If you can swing it get yourself there.

They were made by (or at least Sold by) NC Ordnance for years. One of my shooting buddies actually used to do all other the post casting polishing for them. Spotty quality and even worse customer service. Currently RW Gripframes makes their own version and their stuff is excellent.

NC Ordnance version no longer made.

for the record , i was not trying to dispariage the heritage firearms , i know bucharoos that shot their 22s and they performed well , my questioning was aimed at a use by someone that shot often / regularly , with thousands of rounds thru it , im not sure its up to that , but please prove me wrong , i like their handguns , '
I think your assessment is pretty much spot on. I too like their stuff. Regardless of whatever/whoever owns them they have remained pretty much the same gun since my Dad bought me one as my first handgun at 12 years old (I'm 45 now). They absolutely will not take the throttling of an active 2 handed shooter but will be a good option for kids/ladies and smaller statured new shooters just starting out.

It’s all about the numbers. Think about the cost of a Uberti ‘73. Now quadruple the number of parts and try to keep a shotgun that gets slammed around made out of Italian steel. The rifles alone are basically a chasis to build a gun out of. An Italian made ‘97 would easily eclipse $1800-2000 and STILL need work.

Was wondering if anyone knows dimensionally the location to drill a hole to accept a Ruger style hand spring on a Uberti 2nd Model Dragoon. Yes I know there is a fixture and yes I know some have gotten a kazillion rounds of use out of the flat springs. I wanna do and gonna do it just trying to cut the curve a bit. Any info appreciated.

That's actually in the works. I just need to get someone who can be in front of a camera without breaking the lens to do the talking part. .
Hey you’ve got cute kids. And they work cheap.

No de-deprrime. Brass juice. Lyman cyclone dryer. So easy. Way too much black magic induced in this procedure.

The two we have in are a little rough but I think they will be able to run with a little elbow grease
Great! Slick one up, document it (videos work well) and give us a full review. Would love to see the content.

Would you run this in a lever gun? They work well in it but it’s not a flat point. When I load my flat points the bolt will not close but it will close if I seat the flat nose bullet deeper than minimum overall length. I use start loads for powder so no where near maximum pressure but even with start loads seating deeper increases pressure. The tip of the bullet I have pictured will work but I don’t want to gamble with magazine tube explosion. Thoughts?
What flat point bullet are you loading and what OAL is it at?

To answer the question $600 is fair. Regardless of the finish the Cimarron will most definitely affect the market.

Please post up a review with pictures, when you can.
Just curious. How many reviews do you need to see before you deem it a viable gun? Are you then going to buy one?

Great reviews on the 1887.
However, after the "Drop Two modification" is made, can the magazine still hold hold 5-6 shells?
If not, it would seem that it would have to be set up for either the Cowboy shooting or for Wild Bunch shooting, to take full advantage of either state of the shotgun.
That’s entirely dependent on your level of commitment to practice with it. Dropping 2 is obviously better but there are other ways to shoot it competitively.

Thanks for the follow up. Would be curious what Lassiters impressions are once he has a chance to go through yours.
He’s not at all a social media guy but I will get a full rundown and do a follow up video once it’s done.

Hello Brimstone. Thanks for checking this out. I sure hope you are correct. Looks like the one Deuce had would not. However, individual guns might differ just enough to make it possible. I'll look forward to hearing back from you.
Good point. I know the mag tube on Chiappa's are the same length regardless of barrel length, but I have no idea about the Cimarron version. Hopefully Brimstone will let us know what the barrel length was on the one he handled.

Understood. He kicked the open lever forward to raise the shell first, then closed it. (5:15 and 6:00 marks in the video).
Yup….I am he soooo I’m just explaining what happened.

The way I saw it is he put 5 in tube, 1 on the carrier and 1 in the chamber, (5+2) which didn’t work. When he removed the chambered round, it worked. Then he repeated with 6 in the gun (5+1).
The action will not close on empty chamber with 6 in it (5 in tube one on carrier).

Yes, but when he tried to close the lever with 5 in the tube and one on the carrier, it would not close fully. Closing the lever pushes the round on the carrier back into the magazine and with 5 already in there I believe that is what prevented fully closing the lever.
Yup and I knew that but had a brain fart. I’m not a Wild Bunch guy so that’s not really on my radar. It does have a LOT of mag spring pressure so I’m sure some coils could come off. Mine will be regulated to a “2 shooter” only as it’s headed to Lassiter tomorrow.

What a tremendous loss. Always a gentleman with good humor and a smile. Also a huge asset to the game with endless amounts of behind the scene contributions. He will be missed on every front.
