Wade Butcher Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have an Uberti 1873 Deluxe rifle in 45 Colt with the octagon barrel, but I'm not very fond of its checkered furniture. Any recommendations for quality aftermarket butt- and forend? Thanks in advance! W.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Or you might put a "swap" ad in the classifieds. Most of the '73's are smooth, somebody might checkered. Just need to be sure the forends are the same length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only short descriptions with a link to submit an email asking if the product is currently in stock. Seems a bit awkward. I'd much rather see the exact wood that I'd be buying. At the very least, a stock photo of something similar. Oh, well. I've submitted the email. We'll see what happens. Thanks, everyone. On a side note: Are the straight butt and the pistol grip butt interchangeable? W.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not, due to the curved lower tang. And all of the pistol grips are checkered, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the rifle configuration you have i.e. 1866, 1873 etc. it will bring up a parts schematic, find the part # from the schematic and look for the part listing and price.Straight stock and pistol grip stocks are not interchangeable. VTI will usually respond in 24 hrs. as to availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Butcher Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thanks. I did that. They responded that they only have unfinished in stock. Oh, well. I'll keep looking. W.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
