Dantankerous Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I recently saw a 44-40 Uberti '73 lever action with the barrel stamped Uberti, USA INC, Lakeville, CT. I am not familiar with that stamp. Is this an older Navy Arms rifle? Something different? No Navy Arms stamp or any other importer stamp I could find on it. Thanks for any helpful insight.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Uberti USA was the importer of "generic" Ubertis back before Beretta bought Uberti. Uberti USA then morphed into VTI gun parts, and a "generic" Uberti is now imported as a Stoeger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Mrs Uberti and the owner of VTI Gun Parts, I have forgot her name, have been friends for years. Maybe this ties the barrel stamp together … Where are VTI Gun Parts’s headquarters? VTI Gun Parts’s headquarters are in PO Box 509, Lakeville, Connecticut, 06039, United States Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Maria Uberti, Aldo Uberti's daughter ran Uberti USA in Lakeville Ct. Uberti USA was Uberti's prime US importer. When Uberti was sold, one of the conditions was Uberti USA could no longer exist. Maria went home and the facility became VTI Gun Parts, operated by Lisa Miller. Lisa was Uberti USA's Parts and Service Manager. VTI Gun Parts is still chugging right along. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
