trvlrmn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Looking for a new barrel or used but in good shape. Prefer Navy Arms with integral front sight, rather than one that needs a barrel band sight. One from a different Uberti importer with integral front sight would be OK. Let me know if you have one to sell and price. Thank you. --Far Country Traveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've never seen a carbine with-out barrel band sights. Does Uberti make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlrmn Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks, Lawman. Has to be a 44-40/44 WCF. Thanks, Doc. These barrels w/o front sights are available from several sources. Numrich seems most expensive. Trying to find one with staked/braised-on front sight. Slim, all 1866 carbines I have seen have had barrel band-mounted front sights. Navy Arms imported 1873 carbines with a one-piece front sight mounted directly to the barrel behind the barrel band, soldered on or soldered and staked on. I know because I have owned three of them and still have two. I think most recent imports are specified with barrel band-mounted front sights. My research indicates that Winchester used both, beginning with the barrel band sights like they used on 1866s then switching at some point to the soldered on blocks. Thanks to all for suggestions and questions. --trvlr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trvlrmn Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just received email from another scammer, this time using the name vbrass1, referring me to someone named "Tom" in Kentucky (tmattingly@gmail.com). Beware! --trvlr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
