Wade Butcher 37 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

They are not, due to the curved lower tang. And all of the pistol grips are checkered, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited January 6 by Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wade Butcher 37 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Thanks. I did that. They responded that they only have unfinished in stock. Oh, well. I'll keep looking. W.B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
