LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I've got a nearly new Uberti 1873 Border rifle in 45 Colt (straight stock, 20" barrel, CCH receiver, octagon barrel) for sale. EMF is the importer. Two small marks on the underside of the stock are the only flaws I can find on it. Has been smoothed up by a local smith, but no short stroke kit. Pictures a couple of posts down from this one. Asking $900 plus shipping, must go to FFL. Sold Locally. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastcall Ranger Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Cant't help with a .38-40, but I have a Cimarron Uberti short rifle in .44-40 I would like to trade for one in .45 Colt. I got it in a trade for a non-SASS firearm, the previous owner indicated he fired less than 200 factory rounds thru it. The internals have not been messed with, I cannot find a scratch on it, and it is still in the original box. Let me know if you don't find a .38-40 and are interested in a .44.40. Thanks.

I will keep it in mind. I shoot a lot of 44 WCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Pictures, as promised. The underside of the stock has two small nicks. One is just smaller than a pencil eraser, the other is a scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancho Roy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 You can buy a 38-40 barrel from VTI and easily convert it. I did this to two 45 Colt rifles. No issues what so ever. Both headspaced perfectly. Sold the 45 barrels for just about what the 38 barrels cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered a 38-40 barrel for another rifle I've got, so this one is now for sale. Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
