Come On Christmas Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Like new Uberti Cabelas 1860 Henry Military Rifle with swivel mounts. The previous owner may have run a box of shells through it found that it shot high. Filed on the front sight to make it shoot lower. NOT. The front sight has been made from some kind of carbon steel washer from the hardware store. I was shooting black powder rounds using the tailgate of a pickup truck offhand seated to create the target I have pictured at 50 yards. At 100 yards it should be spot on. I was shooting making the top of the sight to the top of the V for consistency, when the sight was flat on top. We rounded it in the shop afterwards. The flyer to the right is due of the lack of the skill of the shooter. I only shot this rifle in one match. Too heavy for me as I am prone to tennis elbow. The idiot that had it before used pliers to tighten the grasp of the ladder sight so it would have better purchase I assume. You can still adjust it up to 400 yards. I will sell this honey for $1100 CONUS. I wish to be paid with a USPS money order. Shipping costs will be actual from the post office insured using the mode of your choice from the GPO. Final Proviso - Make sure your FFL is okay with receiving a rifle from an individual.

I have two of them to include. http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/shameless54/Mobile%20Uploads/5BA19EF6-71FF-4FDF-BD49-5EAFE8C5A460_zpszvpab5kd.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/shameless54/Mobile%20Uploads/35766560-9330-48C3-9AD7-94F826FF24F6_zpsgsboy1ce.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/shameless54/Mobile%20Uploads/7E146C27-A06E-4CE9-B706-C61DF202C37D_zpsfnwfhgie.jpg Ladder Sight (lays down to standard V which is all you will more than likely use.) http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/shameless54/Mobile%20Uploads/58C05E52-BD73-4F4B-B1DB-AB659131C0BD_zpsev3e2mgd.jpg http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn107/shameless54/Mobile%20Uploads/F54993B5-450A-4221-933F-8516AD48F21A_zpst8jfww1v.jpg Thanks for looking, Crayfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Back to the top for this wonderful rifle. Don't need it cuz I gots 3 of them already -- 2 in 44-40. You black powder shooters need this Rifle! & Shameless, or Crayfish as he's known now, is a good pard to deal with. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parson John Tourmann, #67768 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I replaced my ladder sight with an adjustible off a Lyman muzzel- loader. Shoots clays off a Christmas tree at 50 yards! (that was a target at our 5th Sat shoot after Christmas.) Parson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
