Anybody Shoot this ??

[Okiepan]

Has anyone ever had the opportunity to shoot a 1858 Remington Carbine ( uberti) 

thoughts just watched Duelist Dens new video .

[Blackwater 53393]

Yes!!  Takes some thought and instruction to do it safely.

 

There’s no forestock and there’s a good reason for that. Shooter should carefully avoid a hand or forearm near the front of the cylinder when firing!!!

[Tom Bullweed]

Hunted with one in the early 90s, long before I heard of SASS.

Accurate.  Slow.  Historically so-so, know they existed but never seen one in a historic photo.

 ...... under here in the land of denial those things will get you 14 years in the "greybar hotel" ............. it's a prohibited weapon.

 

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

What is the rationale for that?

Or, like here, is there any?

 Supposedly, one could attack said firearm with a hacksaw and make an unregistered handgun.

 

  .....  apparently 'twas once done and then used to rob a service station of it's days' takings ....

Yep. I have one with a drop in cartridge cylinder.    Very fun plinking gun

So could a SMLE.

 

Then again, I'm applying logic to a school of thought and law that is irrational and illogical in the first place.

I bet that hurts when it goes off

On both ends and much of the surrounding area.

I have this 1875 Uberti made, E.M.F. marked .357 made in 1976. Enjoy the heck outa it. Figured out a trick to shootin it pretty fast and now and then will use in a monthly. 

 

To me they are a fascinating firearm.

 

If you want a history lesson about them or want to order a custom-made one,

The Colt pattern is too straight - not enough stock drop to get a sight picture without turning your head kind of sideways. I wasn't looking for any such thing, but it was on closeout at a local store a few years back for about half price, so...
